Abstract

Methods: In this study, 24 children with spastic CP aged between 8 and 15 years were recruited. They were classified based on their functional performance using Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Trunk control and trunk position sense were assessed using the trunk control measurement scale (TCMS) and digital goniometer, respectively. The correlation between these variables was tested using Spearman's correlation coefficient.

Results: Significant negative correlation was found between trunk position sense and TCMS score. Similarly, a significant moderate correlation was found between trunk position sense and GMFCS. A strong negative correlation was also found between GMFCS and TCMS.

Conclusion: Children with spastic CP with better trunk position sense had better trunk control. Similarly, children with higher functional performance had better trunk control and lesser error in trunk position sense. The current findings imply the relevance of proprioceptive training of the trunk for enhancing trunk motor control in children with spastic CP.

痉挛性脑瘫儿童躯干位置感与躯干控制力之间的关系：横断面研究

研究方法本研究共招募了 24 名患有痉挛性 CP 的儿童，年龄在 8 至 15 岁之间。他们的功能表现根据粗大运动功能分级系统（GMFCS）进行分类。躯干控制和躯干位置感分别使用躯干控制测量量表（TCMS）和数字动态关节角度计进行评估。使用斯皮尔曼相关系数检验了这些变量之间的相关性：结果：躯干位置感与躯干控制测量量表得分之间呈显著负相关。同样，躯干位置感和 GMFCS 之间也存在明显的中度相关性。结论：结论：躯干位置感较好的痉挛性 CP 患儿对躯干的控制能力较强。同样，功能表现较好的儿童躯干控制能力较强，躯干位置感的误差较小。目前的研究结果表明，躯干本体感觉训练对于提高痉挛性 CP 儿童的躯干运动控制能力具有重要意义。
