Rehabilitation Efficacy of Gait Induced Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined with Body-Weight Supported Treadmill Training on Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy by SONG Wei, ZHONG Yue, KE Xiaohua, HUANG Dunbing, ZHANG Anren, DONG Xiaoli

“…A low-frequency electronic pulse stimulator was used to stimulate the common peroneal nerve and anterior tibialis muscle of the children, and the stimulation intensity was set at the desirable movements of ankle dorsiflexion and valgus, and could be tolerated by the children, once a day, 20 minutes a time, five days a week, lasting for eight weeks. Before and after treatment, D (standing) and E (walking, running and jumping) zones of the 88-item gross motor function measurement 88 (GMFM-88) was used to assess the children's gross motor function; six-minute walking test (6MWT) was used to assess walking function; physiological expenditure index (PCI) was used to evaluate walking efficiency; and gait parameters of the children (such as stride length, stride width and stride speed) were analyzed.ResultsCompared with that before treatment, GMFM-D and GMFM-E scores, 6MWT, stride length and stride speed were significantly higher and PCI and stride width were significantly lower in the three groups after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”
