Abstract:
Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of anklefoot orthoses(AFO) on the children with spastic cerebral palsy(CP).
Methods:The children with spastic CP were divided into observation group(n=20) and control group(n=20).Both the two groups were trained with Traditional rehabilitation training，and the observation group was added with AFO to treat static and dynamic tiptoe.After one course of treatment(3 months) the crus triceps muscular tone was evaluated via the modified Ashworth Rating Scale(MAS),and the gross motor function via Gross Motor Function Measurement(GMFM).
Results:The crus triceps muscular tone in the observation group was much lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the scores of GMFM in the observation group were much higher than those in the control group(P<0.01) after treatment.
Conclusions:AFO can decrease the crus triceps muscular tone of the children with spastic CP and improve the gross motor function.
