Study of early intervention for lowering incidence of cerebral palsy in high-risk infants
Objective To investigate the Clinical results of early intervention for lowering the incidence of cerebral palsy in high-risk infants. Methods 180 cases of high-risk infants were divided into study group (early intervention group, 90 cases) and control group (nointervention group,90 cases). The study group was given not only conventional parental guidance, but also the early comprehensive rehabilitation training. The control group received only conventional parental guidance. Results The incidence of cerebral palsy at the age of 1 year old, study group was 3. 33 %, control wasl2. 22 %. The two groups had a significant difference (P<0. 05). The intelligence development index and sports development index of early intervention group are significantly better than the nointervention group at 3 month, 6 month and one year. Conclusion Early intervention can prevent or reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy in high-risk infants. Meanwhile, early intervention can improve the quality of life.
