Objective To analyze the effect of ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) combined with rehabilitation therapy on the recovery of muscle tension in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods A total of 62 CP children in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University were selected from March 2016 to October 2018.According to the different treatment methods,the patients were divided into control group and observation group,with 31 cases in each group.The control group received routine rehabilitation training,while the observation group was given AFO add itionally.The clinical effect of two groups was compared after treatment. Results There were no significant differences on gross motor function Measure (GMFM) score,muscle tension score and gait parameters between two groups before treatment (P>0.05).After treatment,the GMFM score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (t=4.794,P<0.001),while the adductor score,gastrocnemius score and hamstring score in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (t=4.916,5.694,8.786,P<0.001).Beside,the stride length,step speed,step length in observation group were higher than those in control group,while the stride frequency steps/min was lower than that in control group (t=2.235,2.247,5.271,7.454,P<0.05). Conclusion Wearing AFO in CP children can improve the gross exercise ability,decrease the muscular tension and improve the walking ability of the children.
