Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of sensory-integration-training-assisted intervention on limb motor ability and developmental status of children with viral encephalitis in acute stage.Methods A total of 96 cases of children with viral encephalitis admitted to our hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into control group and observation group according to different intervention forms, 48 cases in each group. Both groups were intervened by limb dysfunction prevention and the observation group was given acute-stage sensory integration trainingadditionally.Clinical recovery time, limb motor function and development level of the two groups of children were compared.Results The recovery time of limb dysfunction, fever and consciousness disturbance in observation group was shorter than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The scores in Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA), gross motor function measuer(GMFM-88), Denver development screening test(DDST), visual motor and grasping in the two groups at the end of 3 months after intervention were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group was higher than the control group, the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Acute-stage sensory integration training combined with limb dysfunction intervention as comprehensive care for children with viral encephalitis can shorten the recovery time of consciousness disorders, adjust the clinical recovery time, improve limb motor function and regulate the level of development.
