Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of electromyography biofeedback on motor function in children with spastic hemiplegia. Methods40 children with spastic hemiplegia were divided into control group (n=20) and treatment group (n=20). Both groups received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. The treatment group received electromyography biofeedback in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Functional Measure (GMFM-88) in D and E items before and after treatment. ResultsThe scores of GMFM-88 in both D and E items were significantly different (P<0.01) before and after treatment in both groups, and significantly different between the treatment group and control group (P<0.05) after treatment. ConclusionElectromyography biofeedback can improve the motor capacity in children with spastic hemiplegia.
