ABSTRACT
@#Objective To determine the coefficient in the formula of the optimal dose of botulinum toxin A(BTX-A) to treat spastic cerebral palsy(CP).Methods58 CP children(male 38,female 20,mean age 59.3±24.6 months,range 27 to 144 months) were divided into A,B,C,D and E five groups according to used coefficient and treated by BTX-A with different doses to release the spasticity.ResultsAccording to the improvement of motor function,the BTX-A dose of the group D was optimal.According to the effective endurance,the BTX-A dose of the group C was optimal.The optimal coefficient was 1.8.ConclusionThe formula of the optimal BTX-A dose injected in triceps surae is dose =(1+1.8×MAS score)×body weight.

ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between current and therapeutic effect of block myoelectricity fixed Botulinum Toxin A(BTX-A) injection in cerebral palsy.Methods15 children with spastic cerebral palsy were treated with BTX-A block injection under block myoelectricity fixing.The dose of BTX-A was identified with the weight of the child and the Modified Ashworth Scale.The correlation between current and period in effect was analyzed.ResultsThere was negative correlation between current and period in effect(r=-0.769,P=0.01).ConclusionThe BTX-A should be injected where the fixed current is less.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the optimal dose of botulinum toxic A (BTX-A) block to relax spasticity in cerebral palsy.Methods61 children (27～144 months old) with spastic cerebral palsy were treated by BTX-A block and divided into A, B, C, D and E groups according to the dose coefficient. The dose of BTX-A block was 30～160 IU (average 69.0±32.4 IU) according to the weight and the score of Modified Ashworth Scale.Results55 BTX-A blocks were successful. The muscles tone turned below and the function were improved. The effective rate was 90.16%. The effective time ranged from 8 weeks to 32 weeks, average 17.56±8.30 weeks. The effective time of the group C (2≤dose-coefficient<3) was the longest in the five groups.ConclusionThe optimal dose of BTX-A block in triceps surae should be counted as follow: dose(IU)=(score of Modified Ashworth Scale+2.5)×weight(kg).
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of rehabilitative treatment on different groups of infants with cerebral palsy in different age, sickness extent and rehabilitative period.MethodsBy the prospective method, 90 patients from 3 to 36 months old were randomly divided into three groups including 3 to 12 months, 13 to 24 months and 25 to 36 months with 30 cases each. Every 10 cases in light, moderate and severe degrees were given rehabilitative care for 2 months and 3 months respectively. The personal ADL of every case was evaluated at the initial and the final state. The compared score was analyzed with T test.ResultsComparing the groups of different ages, there were prominent differences of treatment under the same sickness, among the light, moderate and severe degrees(P<0.01). The rehabilitative treatment effect of 3 months was better than that of 2 months. Furthermore the effect of the group of 3-12 months was better than that of 25-36 months.ConclusionsThe rehabilitative care is prominently effective in the light and moderate groups , the former is better and within 3 months is better than 2 months. The younger infant is, the better the rehabilitative treatment is.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo report the intra-observer agreement study of Comprehensive Function Evaluation for Disabled Children. Methods84 disabled children in-patients were tested twice between 7-14 days by specialist. Every form was checked and accepted.ResultsThere is a significant relation between two evaluation(r=0.997,P<0.01).Conclusions There is a substantial intra-observer agreement and high reliability in Comprehensive Function Evaluation for Disable Children.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveIn order to confirm the relationship of pathogenic factors and clinical manifestation of cerebral palsy. Methods185 children were divided into the prematurity group(91 cases) and maturity group(94 cases). The μ-test was applied to analyze the incidence of clinical manifestation of 185 children with cerebral palsy for different pathogenic factors. ResultsThe sever symptoms occurred more frequently in prematurity group than in maturity group. ConclusionThe earlier the careful follow-up for children with prematurity was performed, the earlier the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy were achiened.
