| Objective:To approach the clinical effects of electromyographic biofeedback combined with balance-developmental training on tip foot and walking ability of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Methods:Forty cases of hemiplegic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into observation group and control group,20 cases in each group.All the patients received balance-developmental training,and the observation group was given electromyographic biofeedback in addition.Before and after training,foot dorsiflexion angle,the EMG maximum contraction of anterior tibialis muscle and (GMFM-88)-E scores were assessed.Results:After treatment for 12 weeks,the scores of foot dorsiflexion angle of both groups were markedly reduced as compared with those before treatment,more significantly in observation group than in control group(all P<0.05).The EMG maximum contraction of anterior tibialis muscle and (GMFM-88)-E scores were notably increased in both groups as compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05),more significantly in observation group than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Electromyographic biofeedback combined with balance-developmental training can significantly improve the tip foot and walking ability of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. |
