Effect of Acupoint Thread Embedding on Motor Function in Children with Cerebral Palsy / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To observe the effect of Acupoint Thread Embedding on the motor function of children with cerebral palsy. Methods90 children with cerebral palsy were divided into 2 groups by the visiting time and gender: the observation group accepted AcupointThread Embedding and comprehensive rehabilitation while the control group accepted comprehensive rehabilitation only. They were assessedwith Gross Motor Function Measure before and 3 months after treatment. Results The incidence of efficiency was 95% in the observationgroup and 80% in the control group (<i>P</i><0.01). The score of Gross Motor Function Measure was higher in the observation group thanin the control group (<i>P</i><0.01). Conclusion Acupoint Thread Embedding can promote the motor functional recovery of children with cerebralpalsy.
