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.
