Abstract:Objective Too analyze the disease characteristics of spastic cerebral palsy in children and evaluate the impact of task-oriented therapy on the coordination and balance performance of the lower limbs in these children.Methods A total of 86 children with spastic cerebral palsy treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from February 2019 to January 2020 were selected. They were divided into a control group and a study group in a 1:1 ratio, with 43 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation training, while the study group received routine rehabilitation training plus task-oriented therapy. The clinical efficacy, gait indicators (10-meter fastest walking time, stride walking, affected side - unaffected side walking difference), intelligence, independence, limb motor function, and balance scores were compared between the two groups.Results After different treatments, the total clinical effective rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Gait indicators in the study group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The intelligence, independence, limb motor function, and balance scores in the study group were all superior to those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Implementing task-oriented training in rehabilitation has a significant effect on improving gait, intelligence, independence, limb motor function, and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy, showing promising potential for wider application.
