Abstract

Objective To analyze the effect of adjustable weighted clothing on upper limb function and activity of daily living in children with cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 30 children with involuntary exercise-induced cerebral palsy admitted in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University from March 2016 to October 2016 were randomly divided into observation group (n=15) and control group (n=15).The control group was treated with routine rehabilitation training.while The observation group wore adjustable weighted clothes based on conventional rehabilitation.Upper limb function and the ability of activity of daily living of two groups before and after treatment were assessed by quality of upper extremity skills test (QUEST) and pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI) were compared. Result After treatment, the QUEST and PEDI scores of both groups were significantly improved than those before treatment, while the score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Adjustable weighted clothing can effectively improve the upper limb function and daily living activities in children with involuntary exercise-induced cerebral palsy, so it is worth promoting in clinic.
