Analysis of the effect of massage combined with Kinesio taping on high muscle tension of foot in children with spastic cerebral palsy
Objective To analyze the effect of massage combined with Kinesio taping on high muscle tension of foot in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods 60 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was given routine rehabilitation treatment,and the observation group was given massage+Kinesio taping.The muscle tone related indicators,cerebral blood flow,gross motor function score of lower limbs,walking speed,stride length,therapeutic effect and nerve function score were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the angle of left and right foot dorsiflexion angle and heel-ear test and femoral angle in both groups were better than those before treatment,and the observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery(MCA),anterior cerebral artery(ACA)and posterior cerebral artery(PCA)and pulsatility(PI)in both groups were better than those before treatment;the blood flow velocity of MCA and PCA and PI in the observation group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no difference in ACA blood flow velocity between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the gross motor function measure-D(GMFM-D)score of the observation group was(32.72±8.56)points and the gross motor function measure-E(GMFM-E)score was(43.68±8.45)points,which were higher than(25.75±7.88)and(37.54±6.51)points in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the observation group had walking speed of(0.69±0.45)m/s and stride length of(19.24±2.55)cm,which were better than(0.41±0.37)m/s and(15.31±1.42)cm in the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of 100.00%in the observation group was higher than 86.67%in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of behavioral ability,passive muscle tension,active muscle tension,primitive reflex and general response in both groups were higher than those before treatment,and the observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Massage combined with Kinesio taping for the treatment of spastic cerebral palsy has a definite effect,which can effectively improve the high muscle tension,cerebral blood flow,motor function and nerve function of the children,and improve the walking speed and stride length,which is worth promoting.
