| Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Kinesio taping (KT) in the treatment of neonatal upper-stem obstetric brachial plexus palsy, and to provide part of the reference for its clinical treatment. Methods: A clinical study was carried out on 22 neonates with upper trunk of obstetric brachial plexus palsy who were admitted to the Rehabilitation Center of our hospital in the past five years. The children who were given the conventional rehabilitation treatment and the KT throughout the course served as the KT group, and those who received the conventional rehabilitation treatment only as the control group. There were 11 cases in the KT group and 11 cases in the control group. The two groups were treated for 3 months. The children in two groups were tested at the first visit and after 3 months of treatment: comprehensive evaluation of brachial plexus function, gross motor function test area A (GMFM-A) score, and neuroelectromyography to detect compound movements of axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, and median nerve, potential wave amplitude. The results were compared between the two groups. Results: The test results of the two groups after three months of treatment were better than those at the first visit (P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the comprehensive evaluation of brachial plexus function and GMFM-A score in the KT group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). The EMG examination of the KT group showed that the amplitude of the compound muscle action potential of the axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, and median nerve was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: KT has a good effect on the recovery of upper limb function of neonates with upper trunk of obstetric brachial plexus palsy, which may exert certain clinical reference significance. |
