Background and purpose: Frozen shoulder (FS) is defined as a condition characterised by functional restriction and daily and nightly pain. As in other shoulder pathologies, the manifestation of psychological factors is recognised in FS; however, from a psychological point of view, only few studies have reported its prognostic value. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate, in patients with FS, the prognostic value of psychological factors on pain, function, disability, health-related quality of life, return to work and time to recovery.

Materials and methods: This systematic review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis-PRISMA 2020 guideline. The authors followed the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic review of Intervention as methodological guidance. The Quality in Prognostic Studies-QUIPS tool was used to assess the risk of bias.

Results: Pain-related fear and depression could be prognostic regarding patient-reported outcome measures assessing shoulder function, disability, and pain; instead, pain catastrophizing could have a prognostic value assessed by the disability of the arm shoulder and hand -DASH scale. Anxiety would appear to impact on disability and pain.

Discussion and conclusions: As widely reported in numerous musculoskeletal conditions, also in FS psychological factors influence the physical dimension such as pain, disability and function. Therefore, clinicians should be encouraged to identify these factors through a comprehensive assessment of the bio-psychological profile of each individual with FS. Perhaps, patients with FS that show such psychological prognostic factors could benefit from a comprehensive and shared approach with other dedicated professionals.

背景和目的:冻肩(FS)被定义为一种以功能受限和昼夜疼痛为特征的疾病。与其他肩部疾病一样,FS中也有心理因素的表现;然而,从心理学的角度来看,只有很少的研究报道其预后价值。本系统综述的目的是调查FS患者的心理因素对疼痛、功能、残疾、健康相关的生活质量、重返工作岗位和恢复时间的预后价值。材料和方法:本系统综述按照系统综述首选报告项目和荟萃分析PRISMA 2020指南进行报告。作者遵循《Cochrane干预系统评价手册》作为方法指导。预后研究质量QUIPS工具用于评估偏倚的风险。结果:疼痛相关的恐惧和抑郁可能是患者报告的评估肩部功能、残疾和疼痛的结果指标的预后;相反,通过臂肩和手部DASH量表的残疾评估,疼痛灾难性可能具有预后价值。焦虑似乎会影响残疾和疼痛。讨论和结论:正如在许多肌肉骨骼疾病中广泛报道的那样,FS中的心理因素也会影响身体维度,如疼痛、残疾和功能。因此,应鼓励临床医生通过全面评估每个FS患者的生物心理状况来识别这些因素。也许,表现出这种心理预后因素的FS患者可以从与其他专业人员的全面和共享方法中受益。

Background and purpose: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in adults worldwide, and one of the main objectives in the rehabilitation of these patients is to recover the gait. New technologies have emerged to cope with this issue, complementing conventional therapy with the use of devices such as exoskeletons. The Marsi Active Knee (MAK) exoskeleton (Marsi Bionics SL, Madrid, Spain) has already been tested, but an updated version was improved to allow the patients to perform functional exercises. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and usability of the MAK in the stroke population as well as its potential clinical effects.

Methods: A single-group open label intervention trial was conducted. The device was used twice a week for 5 weeks during 1 h per visit. During the visits, sit-to-stand transitions, walking, stair climbing, trunk rotations, and weight-transfer exercises were performed using the device. Adverse events were collected from participants and therapists to assess safety. The Quebec User Evaluation of the Satisfaction with assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) was used by both therapists and participants to assess usability. To evaluate its clinical effects, active range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength were assessed in the lower limb.

Results: Six participants with stroke were recruited. The device was shown to be safe since no serious adverse events were reported neither by patients nor by therapists. Every proposed exercise was performed. Regarding clinical effects, overall muscle strength showed an increase after the treatment, although ROM measurements did not show any difference.

Discussion: Our results suggest that the MAK device is safe for stroke patients. Nevertheless, further changes to enhance usability are recommended, such as an improvement of the attachment system and an adaptation for the drop foot. Beneficial effects regarding increases in muscle strength were obtained. Further trials with a larger sample size, longer intervention periods, and a control group are needed to verify these results. Also, future research should focus on the usability of the MAK as an assistive technology.

背景和目的:中风是导致全球成年人残疾的主要原因之一,这些患者康复的主要目标之一就是恢复步态。为解决这一问题,出现了一些新技术,通过使用外骨骼等设备对传统疗法进行补充。Marsi Active Knee(MAK)外骨骼(Marsi Bionics SL,西班牙马德里)已经过测试,但其更新版本经过改进,允许患者进行功能锻炼。本研究旨在评估 MAK 在中风人群中的安全性和可用性,以及其潜在的临床效果:方法:进行了一项单组开放标签干预试验。该装置每周使用两次,为期 5 周,每次 1 小时。访问期间,使用该设备进行坐立转换、步行、爬楼梯、躯干旋转和体重转移练习。我们收集了参与者和治疗师的不良反应,以评估安全性。治疗师和参与者使用魁北克用户对辅助技术满意度评估(QUEST 2.0)来评估可用性。为了评估其临床效果,对下肢的主动活动范围(ROM)和肌肉力量进行了评估:共招募了六名中风患者。结果:共招募了六名中风患者,患者和治疗师均未报告严重的不良反应,因此证明该设备是安全的。所有建议的运动都得到了执行。在临床效果方面,治疗后总体肌力有所增强,但ROM测量结果未显示出任何差异:讨论:我们的研究结果表明,MAK 设备对中风患者是安全的。讨论:我们的研究结果表明,MAK 装置对中风患者是安全的,但仍建议进一步改进以提高可用性,例如改进连接系统和适应垂足。在增强肌肉力量方面取得了有益的效果。要验证这些结果,还需要进行样本量更大、干预时间更长、对照组更多的试验。此外,未来的研究还应关注MAK作为辅助技术的可用性。

Background: Heart failure is described by a lack of confirmed efficient therapies and exercise intolerance. Engagement in physical activity decreases the possibility of adverse cardiovascular consequences involving heart failure.

The purpose of the study: Determine the effect of different types of aerobic training on peak VO2 and ejection fraction in diastolic heart failure patients.

Subject and methods: The study was designed as a randomized control trail. Forty-eight eligible male patients with diastolic heart failure, aged between 50 and 65 years old, enrolled in this study. They were picked up from Police hospital outpatient clinic and were assigned to 2 equal groups in numbers. The first group (A) received aerobic exercise for the upper limb in the form of arm ergometer exercises, while the second group (B) received aerobic exercise for the lower limb in the form of cycling. Training duration for both groups was 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks. Peak VO2, and ejection fraction of both groups were measured and compared pre- and post-treatment.

Results: There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the ejection fraction between groups post-treatment. However, a significant increase (p < 0.001) was observed in the peak VO2 of group B when compared to group A post-treatment.

Conclusion: There is no effect of different types of aerobic training on ejection fraction in diastolic heart failure patients, but lower limb exercise is more effective than upper limb exercise in improving peak VO2 in diastolic heart failure patients. Therefore, the current study recommended the use of lower limb exercise over upper limb exercise in training diastolic heart failure patients.

Clinical trial registration: The study was registered in ClinicalTrial.gov as a clinical trial ID (NCT05637125).

背景:心力衰竭表现为缺乏有效的治疗方法和运动不耐受。参与体育锻炼可降低心力衰竭对心血管造成不良后果的可能性:研究目的:确定不同类型的有氧训练对舒张性心力衰竭患者峰值 VO2 和射血分数的影响:研究设计为随机对照试验。48名符合条件的舒张性心力衰竭男性患者参加了这项研究,他们的年龄在50至65岁之间。他们都是从警察医院门诊部挑选出来的,并被分配到人数相等的两组。第一组(A)接受手臂测力计运动形式的上肢有氧运动,第二组(B)接受自行车运动形式的下肢有氧运动。两组的训练时间均为每周 3 次,持续 12 周。测量两组的峰值 VO2 和射血分数,并对治疗前后进行比较:结果:治疗后,两组的射血分数没有明显差异(P > 0.05)。结果:治疗后两组的射血分数无明显差异(P > 0.05),但有明显增加(P不同类型的有氧训练对舒张性心力衰竭患者的射血分数没有影响,但在改善舒张性心力衰竭患者的峰值 VO2 方面,下肢运动比上肢运动更有效。因此,本研究建议在训练舒张性心力衰竭患者时使用下肢运动而非上肢运动:本研究已在 ClinicalTrial.gov 注册临床试验 ID(NCT05637125)。

Purpose: To link the concepts measured by the Grocery Shelving Task Test (GST) to the codes and qualifiers of the activity and participation component of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Methods: The linkage was performed by two professionals who applied the 10 standardized binding rules. The linking process was performed through the model of extraction and identification of the concepts that were found in each item of the GST Test.

Results: The GST test includes 1 domain of the activity and participation component (d4 mobility). The link with the qualifiers allowed quantifying the impairment of the limitations of activities in the postoperative period, being observed that 21.27% of the sample did not present any problem, 61.70% presented the qualifier "0.1" (mild problem), 8.50% had a moderate problem (qualifier '0.2') and 8.50% had a severe problem (qualifier '0.3'). No complete impairment was observed in any study participant.

Discussion: The linking of the GST to the ICF codes and qualifiers allowed quantifying the functional impairment in the postoperative period of breast cancer, allowing a comprehensive and standardized view, and being a guiding tool for treatment plans.

目的:将杂货货架任务测试(GST)测量的概念与国际功能、残疾和健康分类(ICF)活动和参与部分的代码和限定符联系起来。方法:由两名专业人员应用10条标准化约束规则进行链接。链接过程是通过GST测试的每个项目中发现的概念的提取和识别模型进行的。结果:GST测试包括活动和参与成分的1个结构域(d4迁移率)。与限定词的联系允许量化术后活动限制的损害,观察到21.27%的样本没有出现任何问题,61.70%的样本出现限定词“0.1”(轻度问题),8.50%有中度问题(限定词“0.2”),8.50%有严重问题(限定语“0.3”)。在任何研究参与者中都没有观察到完全损伤。讨论:GST与ICF代码和限定符的联系允许量化癌症术后期的功能损害,允许全面和标准化的观点,并作为治疗计划的指导工具。

Background: Chronic neck pain is known to be caused by the weakness of the deep neck flexors and disturbances in the mechanoreceptors and the proprioceptors of the cervical spine. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is hypothesized to balance the relative stiffness and weakness of the muscles and activate the mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors.

Objective: To investigate PNF techniques and the craniocervical flexor training (CCFT) techniques for pain and function in chronic neck pain.

Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 66 chronic mechanical neck pain patients randomly assigned to either the PNF or CCFT groups using block randomization for a duration of 4 weeks. Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck disability Index (NDI) and Active cervical range of motion (ACROM) were measured at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention. Data were analysed using independent t test and MANOVA.

Results: The mean difference scores for NPRS and NDI were 2.18 and 15.72 in PNF group and 2.26 and 15.76 in the CCFT groups, respectively. Both the groups showed a change that was statistically significant. Also, the mean differences for the ACROM in all the planes in both the groups were statistically significant. However, the between group changes did not reveal any statistical significance in this study except for the right rotation in the CCFT group (p = 0.01).

Conclusions: This study concluded that the PNF treatment is also beneficial to pain and function in treating chronic mechanical neck pain patients as its results stand similar to the CCFT treatment, which is already established to be a reliable tool to treat this condition.

背景:众所周知,慢性颈部疼痛是由颈深屈肌无力以及颈椎机械感受器和本体感受器紊乱引起的。据推测,本体感觉神经肌肉促进(PNF)可以平衡肌肉的相对僵硬和虚弱,并激活机械感受器和本体感受器。目的:探讨PNF技术和颅颈屈肌训练(CCFT)技术对慢性颈痛患者疼痛和功能的影响。方法:对66名慢性机械性颈部疼痛患者进行随机临床试验,随机分为PNF组或CCFT组,采用分组随机化,为期4周。在基线和干预4周后测量数字疼痛评定量表(NPRS)、颈部残疾指数(NDI)和活动颈部活动范围(ACROM)。结果:PNF组NPRS和NDI的平均差分分别为2.18和15.72,CCFT组为2.26和15.76。两组患者都出现了具有统计学意义的变化。此外,两组所有平面上ACROM的平均差异具有统计学意义。然而,除了CCFT组的右旋外,组间变化在本研究中没有显示任何统计学意义(p=0.01)。结论:本研究得出结论,PNF治疗对慢性机械性颈部疼痛患者的疼痛和功能也有益,因为其结果与CCFT治疗相似,其已经被确定为治疗这种情况的可靠工具。

Background: Falls are frequent in older adults and can cause trauma, injury, and death. Fall prevention with virtual reality presents good results in improving postural control. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has been used with the same aim; however, the combination of the two techniques has still been little studied.

Purpose: To assess whether tDCS can enhance the effect of video game training (VGT) on improving the postural balance of healthy older women.

Method: A blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted with 57 older women who were randomized to three balance training groups: Control Group (VGT), Anodal Group (VGT combined with anodic tDCS-atDCS), and Sham Group (VGT combined with sham tDCS-stDCS). Balance training was performed twice a week for four weeks, totalizing eight 20-min sessions using VGT associated with tDCS. Postural balance was assessed pre-and post-training and 30 days after the end of the eight sessions using the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test.

Results: Compared to pre-intervention the Mini BEST test increased similarly in the three groups in post-intervention (control: pre 23.7 ± 2.8 to post 27.0 ± 2.2; anodal: pre 24.4 ± 1 to post 27.7 ± 0.8 and sham: pre 24.2 ± 1.9 to post 26.5 ± 1.6; p < 0.001) and follow-up (control: pre 23.7 ± 2.8 to follow-up 26.8 ± 2.3; anodal: pre 24.4 ± 1 to follow-up 27.3 ± 1.4 and sham: pre 24.2 ± 1.9 to follow-up 26.8 ± 1.5; p < 0.001).

Conclusion: There was an improvement in the postural balance of the three training groups that were independent of tDCS.

Discussion: Some studies have shown the positive tDCS effects associated with other tasks to improve balance. However, these results convey the effects of only anodic-tDCS compared to sham-tDCS. Possibly, the effect of VGT surpassed the tDCS effects, promoting a ceiling effect from the combination of these two therapies. However, studies with other therapies combined with tDCS for older adults deserve to be investigated, as well as in frail older people.

背景:老年人经常摔倒,可导致创伤、受伤和死亡。利用虚拟现实技术预防跌倒在改善姿势控制方面取得了良好效果。目的:评估经颅直流电刺激(transcranial Direct Current Stimulation,tDCS)能否增强视频游戏训练(VGT)对改善健康老年妇女姿势平衡的效果:方法:对 57 名老年妇女进行了一项盲法随机对照临床试验,将她们随机分为三个平衡训练组:对照组(VGT)、阳极组(VGT 与阳极 tDCS-atDCS 相结合)和虚假组(VGT 与虚假 tDCS-stDCS 相结合)。平衡训练每周进行两次,为期四周,共八次,每次 20 分钟,使用 VGT 和 tDCS。在训练前、训练后以及八次训练结束后的 30 天内,使用迷你平衡评估系统测试对姿势平衡进行评估:结果:与干预前相比,三组的迷你平衡评估系统测试结果在干预后都有类似的提高(对照组:从干预前的 23.7 ± 2.8 提高到干预后的 27.0 ± 2.2;阳极组:从干预前的 24.4 ± 1 提高到干预后的 27.7 ± 0.8;假体组:从干预前的 24.2 ± 1.9 提高到干预后的 26.5 ± 1.6;P 结论:在干预后,三组的姿势平衡能力都有提高:三个训练组的姿势平衡均有改善,且与 tDCS 无关:讨论:一些研究表明,与其他任务相关的 tDCS 对改善平衡有积极作用。然而,这些结果只反映了阳极-tDCS 与假-tDCS 相比的效果。可能是 VGT 的效果超过了 tDCS 的效果,这两种疗法的结合产生了天花板效应。不过,针对老年人以及体弱老年人的其他疗法与 tDCS 的结合研究值得研究。

Purpose: Impaired gait is one of the earliest, most devastating, and long-lasting symptoms associated with neurological disorders. This study tested the feasibility of wearing the NewGait rehabilitative device in individuals with gait impairments due to the most common neurological disorders.

Methods: Seven participants with gait impairments due to strokes, Multiple Sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) were included in the study. Their walking with and without wearing the NewGait was analyzed and compared using the Vicon T160 system for motion analysis. Gait velocity, step length, foot clearance, lateral displacement of the Center of Mass, gait deviation and symmetry indexes were compared using two standard deviation band method for each participant.

Results: Participants subjectively assessed the NewGait as a comfortable device to wear and showed immediate gait improvements to varying degrees. Most improvements were observed in participants with muscle weakness due to peripheral neuropathies, stroke, MS, and CP. These participants improved their foot clearance, gait velocity, and step length. Participants with cerebellar stroke and PD increased their gait stability. All participants demonstrated a reduction in composite gait deviation indexes. Not all gait parameters, though, showed immediate changes.

Conclusion: The results suggest that the NewGait rehabilitative device is feasible and useful for correcting gait impairments caused by neurological deficits. Participants may need to wear this device for longer periods of time in order to achieve long lasting changes in the gait pattern, rather than an immediate correction.

目的:步态受损是与神经系统疾病相关的最早、最具破坏性和最持久的症状之一。这项研究测试了在因最常见的神经系统疾病而出现步态障碍的人身上佩戴NewGait康复装置的可行性。方法:将7名因中风、多发性硬化、周围神经病变、脑瘫和帕金森病而出现步态障碍的参与者纳入研究。使用Vicon T160系统进行运动分析,分析并比较了他们戴着和不戴NewGait的行走情况。采用两个标准差带法对每个参与者的步态速度、步长、足间隙、重心横向位移、步态偏差和对称性指标进行比较。结果:参与者主观评价NewGait是一种佩戴舒适的装置,步态立即得到不同程度的改善。在因周围神经病变、中风、多发性硬化症和慢性疲劳而出现肌肉无力的参与者中观察到了大多数改善。这些参与者改善了他们的足部间隙、步态速度和步长。患有小脑卒中和帕金森病的参与者提高了步态稳定性。所有参与者的步态综合偏离指数都有所下降。然而,并不是所有步态参数都显示出立即的变化。结论:NewGait康复器是一种可行、有效的神经功能缺损步态矫正器。参与者可能需要长时间佩戴该设备,以实现步态模式的长期变化,而不是立即纠正。

M. Ó Mír, M. Casey, Keith M. Smart
Within the current context of implementation of an Advanced Practice Grade, the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists commissioned a survey of physiotherapy manager opinions regarding the role of Advanced Practice Physiotherapists.The aim of this survey was to explore the views of physiotherapist managers in relation to the characteristics, role, competencies and management of Advanced Practice Physiotherapists (APPs) in Ireland.Physiotherapist managers based in primary and secondary care settings in Ireland were invited to participate in a survey on Advanced Practice. Quantitative data from a custom designed online survey was analysed with descriptive statistics and qualitative data from open‐ended survey questions were analysed using thematic analysis.The response rate to the survey was 32% (24/75). On average, respondents thought that 54% (range: 15%–80%) of an APPs time should be spent in clinical practice and between 17% and 20% variously on managerial and leadership, teaching and education and research and development duties. Four themes were identified from the surveys' open‐ended questions related to the description of APP: ‘Extended scope ‘Advanced clinical training, knowledge, and decision‐making’, ‘Autonomy, independence and responsibility’, and ‘Wider roles’.Irish physiotherapist managers recognised the extended scope of practice, expertise and multiple roles characteristic of APPs. They indicated the need for legislative changes and clarity around governance.
在当前实施高级实践等级的背景下,爱尔兰特许物理治疗师协会委托进行了一项关于高级实践物理治疗师角色的物理治疗经理意见调查。本调查的目的是探讨物理治疗师管理人员对爱尔兰高级实践物理治疗师(app)的特征、角色、能力和管理的看法。爱尔兰初级和二级护理机构的物理治疗师经理被邀请参加一项关于高级实践的调查。采用描述性统计分析定制在线调查的定量数据,采用专题分析分析开放式调查问题的定性数据。调查的回复率为32%(24/75)。平均而言,受访者认为应用程序应将54%(范围:15%-80%)的时间用于临床实践,17%至20%的时间用于管理和领导、教学和教育以及研发职责。从调查中与APP描述相关的开放式问题中确定了四个主题:“扩展范围”、“高级临床培训、知识和决策”、“自主、独立和责任”和“更广泛的角色”。爱尔兰理疗师管理人员认识到应用程序的实践范围、专业知识和多重角色特征。他们指出,有必要进行立法改革,明确治理。

Taekwondo Poomsae practise in slow motion and the balance of healthy older adults: A Pre-Experimental Study. 跆拳道Poomsae练习慢动作和健康老年人的平衡:一项预实验研究。
IF 1.7 Q2 Health Professions Pub Date : 2023-10-01 Epub Date: 2023-06-14 DOI: 10.1002/pri.2027

Background and purpose: Poor balance confidence and functional balance can lead to falls in community-dwelling older adults. Exercises utilising slow movements have been shown to improve balance in this population. It is hypothesised that by superimposing the use of slow movements onto Taekwondo Poomsae, there could be similar benefits in improving balance confidence and functional balance in older adults.

Methods: This was a pre - experimental study. Fifteen community-dwelling older adults received 11 weeks of Slow Poomsae (SP) training using a proposed 50-min protocol. Pre- and post-intervention scores of the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Simplified Scale (ABC-S), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), and 'Timed Up and Go' test (TUG) assessments were recorded and compared.

Results: Fifteen eligible participants with mean and standard deviation (SD) of age 73.8 (6.05) years completed the study. Significant improvements (p < 0.05) were seen in the pre-post differences between ABC-S, BBS, DGI, and TUG, with median score changes of 15 points (Z = -3.408), 3 points (Z = -3.306), 3 points (Z = -2.852), and 3.5 s (Z = -3.296) respectively.

Conclusion: The preliminary findings support the efficacy of SP as a potential balance training programme that is safe for healthy older adults to improve their balance confidence and functional balance. More research is required on this topic that leans towards a large population blinded randomised controlled trial with a longer intervention period and inclusion of a follow-up to further elucidate the effects of long-term practice and novelty of SP.

背景和目的:缺乏平衡信心和功能平衡会导致社区老年人跌倒。利用缓慢运动的锻炼已被证明可以改善这一人群的平衡。有人假设,通过将慢动作的使用叠加到跆拳道普姆赛上,在提高老年人的平衡信心和功能平衡方面可能会有类似的好处。方法:本研究为实验前研究。15名居住在社区的老年人接受了为期11周的慢速Poomsae(SP)训练,使用拟议的50分钟方案。记录并比较活动特异性平衡信心简化量表(ABC-S)、伯格平衡量表(BBS)、动态步态指数(DGI)和“定时上下”测试(TUG)评估的干预前和干预后得分。结果:15名平均值和标准差(SD)为73.8(6.05)岁的合格参与者完成了该研究。显著改进(p结论:初步研究结果支持SP作为一种潜在的平衡训练计划的有效性,该计划对健康的老年人来说是安全的,可以提高他们的平衡信心和功能平衡。需要对这一主题进行更多的研究,倾向于一项具有更长干预期的大规模盲法随机对照试验阐述了SP的长期实践效果和新颖性。

Background and objective: An abnormality in muscular tone, lack of postural control, and a lack of coordination are all linked to the retention of primitive and immature postural reflexes. The Purpose of this study aimed of detecting which therapeutic approach is more effective in integrating retained primitive reflexes, either Masgutova neuro-sensorimotor reflex integration or Sensory integration (SI) program.

Methods: Forty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) (11 girls and 29 boys), involved in the current study and their ages ranged from 3 to 6 years old. They were divided at random into two groups (A and B), patients in the study group (A) (n = 20) were treated by Masgutova neuro-sensorimotor reflex integration program (MNRI) while those of study group (B) (n = 20), were subjected to Sensory integration program (SIP), A standardized physical treatment regimen was provided to both groups (Stretching exercise, Strengthening exercise, and facilitation of developing motor milestones) All children were evaluated by using GMFM-88 and (PDMS-2) reflexes subtest before and after treatment that lasted for three successive months at a frequency of three sessions per week.

Results: There was a statistically substantial increase in GMFM scores and control of primitive reflexes post treatment in each group compared to those of the pretreatment mean values (p > 0.05). There was also a statistically non-significance difference between group A and group B regarding post treatment results (p > 0.05).

Implications on physiotherapy practice: SI and MNRI programs can equally be used in the treatment of children with spastic CP who suffer from retained primitive reflexes and delayed gross motor function.

背景和目的:肌张力异常、缺乏姿势控制和缺乏协调都与原始和不成熟的姿势反射的保留有关。本研究的目的是检测哪种治疗方法在整合保留的原始反射方面更有效,无论是Masgutova神经感觉运动反射整合还是感觉整合(SI)程序。方法:40例痉挛性双瘫脑瘫(CP)儿童(11名女孩和29名男孩),参与本研究,年龄从3岁到6岁不等。他们被随机分为两组(A和B),研究组(A)(n=20)的患者接受Masgutova神经感觉运动反射整合程序(MNRI)治疗,为两组提供了标准化的物理治疗方案(伸展运动、强化运动和促进运动里程碑的发展)。所有儿童在治疗前后均使用GMFM-88和(PDMS-2)反射亚测试进行评估,治疗持续三个月,频率为每周三次。结果:与治疗前的平均值相比,各组治疗后的GMFM评分和原始反射控制在统计学上显著增加(p>0.05)。a组和B组治疗后的结果在统计学上也没有显著差异(p>0.05)同样可用于治疗患有痉挛性CP的儿童,这些儿童患有原始反射保留和毛运动功能延迟。
