Clinical Observation on Needling Jiexi(ST41) Combined with Bobath Therapy for 60 Cases of Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of needling Jiexi(ST41) combined with Bobath therapy for spastic cerebral palsy(SCP).Methods Totally 106 SCP children were randomized into treatment group of 60 cases and control group of 46 cases.Both groups were given Bobath therapy.Needling Jiexi(ST41) was combined in the treatment group.The passive dorsiflexion angles of bilateral ankles were measured with joint angle measurement instrument before and after 3 months of treatment.Results After the treatment
the passive dorsiflexion angles of bilateral ankles decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.01)
especially in the treatment group(P<0.01).Conclusion The combination of needling Jiexi(ST41) and Bobath therapy could significantly relieve the passive dorsiflexion of bilateral ankles in SCP children.
