Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of whole-body vibration (WBV) on spasticity, gait, balance, and motor performance in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Groups were administered the conventional physiotherapy program for 8 weeks. WBV group received an additional 2 sessions of WBV a week.

Results: The WBV training combined with conventional physiotherapy is superior to conventional physiotherapy alone in improving gross motor functions (GMFM-D&E), functional walking ability assessment (1-MWT distance) and dynamic balance ability (PDS score) (p < 0,05).

Conclusions: WBV training program added to a conventional physiotherapy program could provide more gains in terms of functionality and the motor functional level of children with spastic diplegic CP.

全身振动对双瘫痉挛性脑瘫儿童步态和平衡的影响:一项随机对照先导研究。
目的:本研究旨在评估全身振动(WBV)对痉挛型脑瘫(CP)患儿痉挛、步态、平衡和运动表现的影响。方法:各组均给予常规物理治疗方案,疗程8周。WBV组每周额外接受2次WBV。结果:WBV训练联合常规物理治疗在改善大运动功能(GMFM-D&E)、功能性步行能力评估(1-MWT距离)和动态平衡能力(PDS评分)方面优于常规物理治疗(p)。结论:WBV训练方案在常规物理治疗方案的基础上,可提高痉挛性双瘫儿童的功能和运动功能水平。
