Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of sling exercise therapy(SET) combined with international college of biomechanics(ICB) on the motor function and daily living activity ability of children with cerebral palsy.Methods Totally 52 children with spastic hemiplegia of cerebral palsy were selected and randomly divided into a control group(n=26) and an experimental group(n=26).Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation therapy and ICB; in addition, the experimental group was given sling exercise therapy. The treatment lasted for 3 months for both groups. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88),Berg balance scale(BBS) and  Functional Independence Measure Children's Edition (WeeFIM) before and after treatment.Results After treatment there was significant improvement in both groups with regard to the scores of GMFM,BBS and WeeFIM. The improvement was of statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusion The sling exercise therapy combined with ICB can effectively improve the motor function and daily living activity ability of children with spastic hemiplegia of cerebral palsy.
