Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of Intensive Therapy Program(ITP) on balance function and gross motor function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 30 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy admitted to the Third Hospital of the Jiamusi University from December 2018 to December 2019 were selected and stratified according to age and gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level, the patients in each level were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 15 cases. The Control Group was treated with routine physical therapy combined with omnidirectional dynamic correction clothing. ITP was applied in the observation group, including: omnidirectional dynamic correction clothing and omni directional dynamic sports equipment. Both groups were treated for 3 months. Peabody Developmental Motor Scale(gesture part), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Gross Motor Function Measurement(GMFM-88) were used to assess posture control ability, balance function and gross motor function before and after treatment. Results Peabody Posture Score, BBS score and GMFM88 score of the two groups were significantly higher after treatment, and they were higher in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion The application of Intensive Therapy Program is helpful, to some extent, to improve the gross motor function of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
