Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of exercise rehabilitation training on children with handfootmouth disease complicated with acute flaccid paralysis,and to explore its effects on lower limb muscle strength and balance function Methods A total of 109 children with handfootmouth disease and acute flaccid paralysis were enrolled in our hospital The patients were divided into two groups according to the time of admission Among them,54 patients in the control group were routinely monitored and treated,being regularly turned over and massaged In the rehabilitation group,55 patients were given exercise rehabilitation training on this basis At the end of treatment,the muscle strength and balance function of the lower limbs of the two groups were compared Results After treatment,the proportion of patients whose lower extremity gluteus maximus,tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles were grade 4 and above was higher in observation group than in control group(P<0.05) The lower limb FuglMeyer exercise scale(FMA) score and the Berg balance scale(BBS) score were higher after treatment,with the observation group being higher than the control group(P<0.05) The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.73%(51/55),which was higher than that of the control group（77.78%，42/54）(P<0.05) Conclusion Exercise rehabilitation training can improve the lower limb muscle strength of children with handfootmouth disease and acute flaccid paralysis,and improve the lower limb movement and balance ability
