Effect of Rehabilitation Training Combined with Home-based Direction on Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation combined with home-based direction on spastic cerebral pal-sy. Methods 42 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into treatment group (n=21) and control group (n=21). The treatment group accepted comprehensive rehabilitation and home adjusted. Their parents participated in the rehabilitation and received home-based di-rection. The control group resigned the rehabilitation for poverty or other reasons, without home adjusted. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) and Activities of Daily Living of Cerebral Palsy before and 6 months after treatment. Results The scores of GMFM-88 and Activities of Daily Living of Cerebral Palsy improved in the treatment group after treatment (P<0.05), and im-proved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation training combined with home-based direc-tion could improve the gross motor function and activities of daily living in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
