Abstract：Objective To observe the application effect of neurodevelopmental therapy combined with cognitive training in the family rehabilitation treatment for infants with global developmental delay(GDD).Methods Fifty infants with GDD who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2019 to December 2020 were recruited and divided into observation group(receiving neurodevelopmental therapy combined with cognitive training)and control group(receiving neurodevelopmental therapy)by random number table method,with 25 infants in each group.In the control group,3 infants were excluded due to their incomplete treatments,and finally 25 infants were included in the observation group and 22 infants in the control group.The development quotients(DQ)of the GDD infants'adaptation functional domain,gross motor functional domain,fine motor functional domain,language functional domain and personal social contact functional domain were evaluated by using Gesell Developmental Schedules before treatment,at 1 month of treatment and at 3 months of treatment,and comparisons were conducted between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the DQ of the adaptation functional domain,gross motor functional domain,fine motor functional domain,language functional domain and personal social contact functional domain between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).At 1 month and 3 months of treatment,the DQ of the adaptation functional domain,gross motor functional domain,fine motor functional domain and language functional domain in the two groups were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the DQ of the4 functional domains in the observation group were higher than those in the control group at 3 months of treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).At 3 months of treatment,the DQ of personal social contact functional domain in the two groups were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the DQ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group at 3 months of treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion In family rehabilitation treatment,the application of neurodevelopmental therapy combined with cognitive training can improve the development levels of the cognitive,motor and language functional domains in GDD infants.
