Abstract

Background and objective: Enhancing joint range of motion is regarded as one of the most long-term goals in the management of cerebral palsy (CP). With CP, there are well-documented changes in the neurological drive to skeletal muscle, which leads to modifications in the architecture of the muscles. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is one intervention to modify muscle and joint. However, its efficacy needs to be accurately studied. This study investigates the effects of WBV on fascicle length, knee joint angle and function in children with spastic hemiplegic CP.

Methods: Eighty children with hemiplegic CP aged 4-6 years were enrolled. Participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The control group received a designated physical therapy program and the experimental group received a designated physical therapy program in addition to WBV. Program was performed 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Goniometry, ultrasonography and gross motor function measurements were used to measure knee extension joint angle, fascicle length of hamstrings and function, respectively.

Results: The results of this study indicated that, designed physical therapy program with WBV could increase the active range of motion in knee extension (p = 0.001) and fascicle length of hamstring (p = 0.001) muscles as well as improve function in children with hemiplegic CP (p = 0.001).

Implication for physiotherapy practice: According to the findings, the use of WBV can be considered as an effective treatment in increasing the range of motion of knee extension and fascicle length and finally improving function in children with CP.

全身振动对偏瘫脑瘫患儿筋膜长度和关节角度的影响
背景和目的:增强关节活动范围被认为是治疗脑性瘫痪(CP)的最长期目标之一。有充分证据表明,脑瘫患者骨骼肌的神经驱动力会发生变化,从而导致肌肉结构的改变。全身振动(WBV)是改变肌肉和关节的一种干预措施。然而,其疗效仍有待准确研究。本研究调查了全身振动对痉挛性偏瘫儿童的筋膜长度、膝关节角度和功能的影响:方法:研究人员招募了 80 名 4-6 岁患有偏瘫 CP 的儿童。方法:80 名 4-6 岁患有偏瘫 CP 的儿童被随机分为实验组和对照组。对照组接受指定的物理治疗方案,而实验组除了接受指定的物理治疗方案外,还接受 WBV。该项目每周进行 3 次,为期 12 周。研究采用动态关节角度测量法、超声波检查法和粗大运动功能测量法,分别测量膝关节伸展关节角度、腘绳肌筋膜长度和功能:结果:研究结果表明,设计的 WBV 物理治疗方案可增加偏瘫 CP 患儿伸膝的活动范围(p = 0.001)和腘绳肌筋膜长度(p = 0.001),并改善其功能(p = 0.001):对物理治疗实践的启示:根据研究结果,WBV 可被视为一种有效的治疗方法,可增加 CP 儿童膝关节伸展的活动范围和筋膜长度,并最终改善其功能。

期刊介绍: Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
