Abstract:To investigate the effects of acupuncture combined with MOTOmed intelligent sports training on motor function and cerebral blood flow of lower extremity in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods:Ninety-six children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into the observation group (48 cases) and the control group (48 cases).On the basis of routine rehabilitation, the control group was given MOTOmed intelligent exercise training.The observation group was given acupuncture treatment on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated with 10 courses.The curative effect of modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the gross motor function (GMFM) score of lower extremity and the changes of cerebral hemodynamics were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the total effective rate of adductor and gastrocnemius MAS in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (all P<0.05).The GMFM scores of both groups were significantly increased after treatment, and the above scores in observation group were significantly better than those in control group (P<0.05).The peak systolic velocity and mean velocity of cerebral blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery and posterior cerebral artery in both groups were significantly increased after treatment.The above indexes in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (all P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with MOTOmed intelligent exercise training can significantly improve clinical efficacy and improve motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.The specific mechanism may be related to the improvement of cerebral blood flow.
