Application Of Muscle Strength Training Combined With Sports Games In Rehabilitation Treatment Of Children With Cerebral Palsy

Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of muscle strength training combined with sports game intervention in the rehabilitation treatment of children with cerebral palsy.Methods: Sixteen children with cerebral palsy who met the inclusion criteria were selected from the affiliated hospital of Shanxi Rehabilitation Research Center.They were randomly divided into two groups,the control group and the experimental group with 8children in each group.The intervention means of the experimental group is a training scheme which focuses on muscle strength training and combines with sports games and other training contents,while the control group carries out routine rehabilitation training without intervention measures.Before and after the experiment,gross motor function scale,Berg balance scale,improved Ashworth scale,unarmed muscle strength scale and ADL daily living ability scale were used to evaluate the related physical functions and abilities of children in the experimental group and the control group.After the experiment,the data were analyzed and compared.Research results:(1)According to the analysis and comparison of the training results after 14 weeks,in terms of gross motor function,the standing and walking ability of the experimental group is better than that of the control group,and the experimental results are significantly different(P<0.05);(2)Compared with the control group,the improvement of balance ability in the experimental group was more prominent,with statistical significance(P<0.05);(3)In the aspect of muscle tension,the muscle tension of hip joint and knee joint in the experimental group and the control group was improved,while the ankle joint muscle tension in the control group was not significantly changed(P>0.05),and the muscle tension in the experimental group was better than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).(4)In the aspect of unarmed muscle strength,the improvement effect of hip and ankle muscle strength in the experimental group was more prominent than that in the control group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in knee muscle strength between the experimental group and the control group(P>0.05).(5)Compared with the control group,the ability of daily living in the experimental group was improved slightly,and the experimental results were statistically significant(P<0.05).Research conclusions:(1)The exercise program designed in this study can improve the gross motor function and balance ability of children with cerebral palsy;(2)The exercise program designed in this study can improve the muscle strength of children with cerebral palsy,improve their muscle tension and correct their abnormal body posture;(3)The exercise program designed in this study can improve the daily living ability of children with cerebral palsy to some extent.
