Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of selective acupoint-injection on scissors gait in 60 children of cerebral palsy.
METHODSSixty children of scissors gait were classified hypermyotonia and hypomyotonia according to muscular tension and femoral angle, and treated with injection into lateral acupoints, medial acupoints and lateral-medial acupoints of the lower limbs, respectively.
RESULTSThe total effective rate was 87.5% for the hypermyotonia treated with injection into lateral acupoints of the lower limbs, and 100.0% for the hypomyotonia treated with injection into the medial acupoints of the lower limbs, and 80.0% for the patient treated with lateral-medial acupoints.
CONCLUSIONThe causes of forming scissors gait for children of cerebral palsy should be analyzed and different acupoints should be selected for different causes, and different acupoints have different therapeutic effects.
