Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of electromyography biofeedback on motor function in children with spastic hemiplegia.Methods 40 children with spastic hemiplegia were divided into control group (n=20) and treatment group (n=20).Both groups received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment.The treatment group received electromyography biofeedback in addition.They were assessed with Gross Motor Functional Measure (GMFM-88) in D and E items before and after treatment.Results The scores of GMFM-88 in both D and E items were significantly different (P0.01) before and after treatment in both groups,and significantly different between the treatment group and control group (P0.05) after treatment.Conclusion Electromyography biofeedback can improve the motor capacity in children with spastic hemiplegia.
