ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy of goal_activity_motor environment( xAmE)therapy and neurodevelopmental therapy(NDT)in the early intervention of high_risk infants with cerebral palsy(IHRCP),and to provide scientific evidence_based medical basis for early intervention of IHRCP. Methods A total of 62 cases of IHRCP were enrolled in the Children＇s Neurological Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui medi_cal University from June 2017 to December 2018. They were divided into xAmE group(32 cases)and NDT group(30 cases)according to the admission order. xross motor Function Scale(xmFm),Fine motor Function measure(FmFm) and xesell Development Scale(xDS)were used for detection and comparison. The differences among the gross motor, the fine motor score and the developmental quotient( D匝)between two groups before treatment,9 months after treat_ment and 12 months after treatment,and the normalization rate and the incidence of cerebral palsy between the two groups at 12 months of age were compared. Results ( 1 )motor function was as follows:at 9 months[ xAmE:(32. 63 ± 15. 83)scores,(30. 03 ± 15. 88)scores],[NDT:(33. 37 ± 15. 61)scores,(29. 67 ± 12. 54)scores]and at 12 months[xAmE:(40. 56 ± 15. 79)scores,(36. 31 ± 14. 98)scores],[NDT:(40. 47 ± 15. 50)scores,(36. 73 ± 14. 58)scores]after treatment,and xmFm and FmFm scores in xAmE and NDT groups were significantly higher than those before treatment[xAmE:(27. 56 ± 14. 24)scores,(21. 75 ± 11. 35)scores],[ NDT:(26. 93 ± 14. 96)scores, (21. 30 ± 10. 67)scores],and the differences were significant( all P<0. 01),but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups(all P> 0. 05).(2)D匝 had no significant difference in D匝 between xAmE group(63. 59 ± 10. 83)and NDT group(61. 59 ± 7. 96)before treatment(P>0. 05). The total D匝 at 9 months,12 months,the total D匝 of xAmE group(73. 67 ± 12. 00,81. 59 ± 13. 03)was significantly higher than that of NDT group(66. 05 ± 9. 54, 75. 17 ± 1. 92)(all P<0. 05). Among them,the improvement of xAmE in speech(79. 84 ± 16. 56,83. 19 ± 17. 05)at 9 months and 12 months,and adaptive ability(78. 63 ± 16. 37,85. 78 ± 13. 60)were significantly higher than that of NDT group(71. 63 ± 13. 36,72. 53 ± 12. 77),(68. 20 ± 14. 97,77. 43 ± 12. 10),and the differences were significant( all P<0. 05).(3)Prognosis was as follows:at 12 months after treatment,25 cases in xAmE group and 23 cases in NDT group developed into normal children,there was no significant difference in the normalization rate between the 2 groups( P>0. 05);the incidence of cerebral palsy was present in 6 cases in xAmE group and 5 cases in NDT group,and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups(P>0. 05). Conclusions xAmE therapy and NDT had significant effects on both gross and fine exercise of IHRCP,and the efficacy of the two methods is similar. Both xAmE therapy and NDT can equally promote IHRCP development into normal infants and reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the efficacy of goal-activity-motor environment (GAME) therapy and neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) in the early intervention of high-risk infants with cerebral palsy (IHRCP), and to provide scientific evidence-based medical basis for early intervention of IHRCP.@*Methods@#A total of 62 cases of IHRCP were enrolled in the Children′s Neurological Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medi-cal University from June 2017 to December 2018.They were divided into GAME group (32 cases) and NDT group (30 cases) according to the admission order.Gross Motor Function Scale (GMFM), Fine Motor Function Measure (FMFM) and Gesell Development Scale (GDS) were used for detection and comparison.The differences among the gross motor, the fine motor score and the developmental quotient (DQ) between two groups before treatment, 9 months after treatment and 12 months after treatment, and the normalization rate and the incidence of cerebral palsy between the two groups at 12 months of age were compared.@*Results@#(1) Motor function was as follows: at 9 months[GAME: (32.63±15.83) scores, (30.03±15.88) scores], [NDT: (33.37±15.61) scores, (29.67±12.54) scores] and at 12 months[GAME: (40.56±15.79) scores, (36.31±14.98) scores], [NDT: (40.47±15.50) scores, (36.73±14.58) scores] after treatment, and GMFM and FMFM scores in GAME and NDT groups were significantly higher than those before treatment[GAME: (27.56±14.24) scores, (21.75±11.35) scores], [NDT: (26.93±14.96) scores, (21.30±10.67) scores], and the differences were significant (all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (all P> 0.05).

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the family adaptability and cohesion in cerebral palsy children.Methods A total of 225 children were selected in two hospitals of Anhui province from May to November in 2014.Their parents or family primary caregivers were interviewed using Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale,Second Edition-Chinese version (FACESII-CV) and self-designed general information questionnaire.Results The actual family types of 225 cerebral palsy children families were:102 cases of intermediate type (45.3％),76 cases of extreme type (33.8％),47 cases of balance type (20.9％),while the ideal family types were:92 cases of intermediate type (40.9％),62 cases of extreme type (27.6％),71 cases of balance type (31.5％),it was significant between the actual and the ideal family types (x2=6.817,P＜0.05).The actual and ideal scores of family adaptability and cohesion scale were (64.09 ± 12.23) points,(43.28 ± 9.91) points and (73.91 ± 9.31) points,(52.73 ± 7.16) points,respectively,the difference was significant (t=-9.049,-10.976,P＜0.01).The scores in the family which the mother had a higher culture degree (F=7.075,8.499,P＜0.01),the cerebral palsy children did not live with grandparents (t=5.925,4.138,P＜0.05),the one-child family (t=5.370,4.652,P＜0.05) were higher.Conclusions The relationship between family members are estranged in most cerebral palsy children families,the ability of family coping with stuff is low and the family function is poor,in addition,the family adaptability and cohesion are mainly affected by the mother's culture degree,whether live with grandparents,the number of children.All above these are need to be intervented early to improve family function.
