Optimal frequency of physical therapy in young children with cerebral palsy: a retrospective pilot study.
Purpose: To determine the optimal frequency of physical therapy (PT) in young children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods: Twenty-three children (mean age, 47.30 ± 31.95 months) with CP who had undergone both low- and high-frequency PT in an outpatient rehabilitation clinic were analyzed retrospectively. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) score was assessed before and after low- and high-frequency PT.
Results: The high-frequency PT group showed statistically significant improvements of GMFM-88 compared to the low-frequency PT group. In the high-frequency PT group, the improvement in total GMFM-88 scores was greater in children below 36 months of age than in children above 36 months of age. Moreover, the ambulatory group showed greater improvement compared to the non-ambulatory group during high-frequency PT.
Conclusions: High-frequency PT might benefit gross motor function in children with CP up to 36 months of age. High-frequency PT resulted in improved standing and gait function in the ambulatory group.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
