ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the curative effect of electromyographic(EMG) biofeedback therapy on spastic diplegia children with cerebral palsy.Methods42 children were divided into the treatment group(n=22) and control group(n=20) randomly.The treatment group was treated with rehabilitation training plus EMG biofeedback training,while the control group with rehabilitation training solely.Manual muscle test(MMT) was performed before and 3 months after treatment,and the treatment group was assessed by electromyographic apparatus additionally.ResultsAfter EMG biofeedback training,the muscular force of children in the treatment group was higher than those in the control group significantly(P<0.05) and the level of root mean square(RMS) and integrated electromyography(iEMG) assessed by surface electromyography(sEMG) increased significantly(P<0.05).ConclusionEMG biofeedback training can provide a satisfactory treatment for spastic diplegia children with cerebral palsy.Electromyographic apparatus is effective to assess muscular force.
