| Objective：To approach the clinical effects of electromyographic biofeedback combined with balance-de velopmental training on tip foot and walking ability of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods：Forty cases of bemiplegic 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. |
