Abstract: Objective〖WT5”BZ〗To explore the effects of sensory integration therapy on gait of children with spastic cerebral palsy and to provide a more effective new way rehabilitation of cerebral palsy.
〖WT5”HZ〗Methods〖WT5”BZ〗A total of 64 children with spastic cerebral palsy were devided into 2 groups in pairs by their gender，age，body height，body weight,clinical classification and the ability of movement.For the 32(22 diplegia，10 hemiplegia)in experimental group:every day they received routine rehabilitation,including physical therapy，massage and exercise therapy，and in addition,they took 30 min of professional sensory integration therapy;for the 32(22 diplegia，10 hemiplegia)in control group:they only took routine rehabilitation,without sensory integration therapy.The course of treatment lasted for 3 months.Before and after rehabilitation treatments，we analysed their gait with their footprints we gathered.All the data were analysed with SPSS17.0 software.
〖WT5”HZ〗Results〖WT5”BZ〗1.After the course of treatment， the walking foot length and velocity of both sides of children with diplegia in the two groups were improved，and the walking base was decreased(P<0.05,0.01).The walking foot length and velocity of both sides in experimental group were improved and the walking base was decreased,compared with those in control group(P<0.01).After the treatment,the heelstrike of both sides didn't show much change (P>0.05).2.After the course of treatment， walking foot length of the affected side of hemiplegia in the two groups was improved，and the walking base in experimental group was decreased(P<0.05,0.01).The walking foot length and velocity of the affected side were improved and the walking base was decreased in experimental group,compared with those in control group(P<0.01).The velocity in two groups and the walking base in control group didn't show much change(P>0.05).The heelstrike of both sides and the walking foot length in fine side didn't show much change after the treatment(P>0.05).
〖WT5”HZ〗Conclusions〖WT5”BZ〗Both routine rehabilitation and routine rehabilitation together with sensory integration therapy can improve the gait (walking foot length，walking base，velocity) of children with spastic cerebral palsy,while routine rehabilitation together with sensory integration therapy is more effective.
