Remote results of observation patients with cerebral palsy in spastic diplegia form after course of muscles electrostimulation

Abstract

The aim of the research is to estimate remote results of observation patients with cerebral palsy in spastic diplegia form. Materials and methods. Under observation were 71 patients with cerebral palsy in spastic diplegia form in the age from 3 to 16 years were described in the present article. Parameters of walking were registrated before, after treatment and 6 months later have finished of treatment. Patients were distributed by two groups. 38 children were included into the first group. They have gotten course of complex rehabilitation with addition functional programmed muscles electrostimulation. The second group was composed by 33 patients. These children have been spent a course of complex rehabilitation like first group besides type of electrostimulation. Second group of patients received passive electrostimulation. Results. At the children of the first group a reliably (p<0,05) good remote result (increasing indexes to 35%) had been registrated in comparison with them condition after treatment. The first group of patients had reliably (p<0,05) good result then the second group. Conclusion. Significantly good results on several symptoms (limping, moving in knee and coxal joints) received with use functional programmed electrostimulation of muscles in children with spastic diplegia form of cerebral palsy.
