Title: A study on effectiveness of medical rehabilitation and educational rehabilitation on pre-school children with cerebral palsy
Abstract: Objective:To study the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation and educational rehabilitation on pre-school children with cerebral palsy.Method:Sixty pre-school children with cerebral palsy were divided into control group and experimental group,with each group 30 cases.Control group received medical rehabilitation (including physical therapy,occupational therapy,speech therapy,sensory integration training),Experimental group received medical rehabilitation and pre-school education and conductive education.Evaluations of rehabilitation were administered with 88 gross motor function measure (GMFM88) and functional independence measure for children (WeeFIM) before training and 6 months after training.SPSS11.0 was used in statistics.Result:After 6 months training,in two groups GMFM scores improved obviously,the difference was significant (P 0.05),but experimental group scored higher and recovered better compared with control group,the differences were significant(P0.01).After 6 months training,in two groups the differences of WeeFIM scores were significant(P0.05).Conclusion:Medical rehabilitation and educational rehabilitation in pre-school children with cerebral palsy can improve the gross motor function significantly and improve cognition,speech and social functions.The effectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitation is better than medical rehabilitation alone.
