Effects of environmental rehabilitation training on the physical and neurological development of newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Objective To observe the impact of environmental rehabilitation training on the physical and neurological development of newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods 117 children with HIE were selected and divided into the routine group and environmental group according to random number tables.The conventional group were received routine management,while the environmental group were received environmental rehabilitation training.The growth,intellectual development,muscle tone development,and behavioral ability development were compared between two groups of children.Results Under different management modes,the body weight,head circumference,upper arm circumference,and height of the environmental group were higher than those of the conventional group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The intelligence development index(MDI)and psychomotor development index(PDI)in the environmental group were higher than those in the control group after 1 and 3 months of management(P<0.05).The active and passive muscle tone of the environmental group after 1 and 3 months of management were higher than those of the conventional group(P<0.05).The original reflex and general response of the environmental group after 1 and 3 months of management were higher than those of the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion Environmental rehabilitation training has a positive significance in improving the growth status of HIE children and promoting their intellectual,muscle tone,and behavioral development.
