To examine the effects of suit wear during an intensive therapy program on motor function among children with cerebral palsy.
Twenty children were randomized to an experimental (TheraSuit) or a control (control suit) group and participated in an intensive therapy program. The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 were administered before and after (4 and 9 weeks). Parent satisfaction was also assessed.
No significant differences were found between groups. Significant within-group differences were found for the control group on the GMFM-66 and for the experimental group on the GMFM-66, PEDI Functional Skills Self-care, PEDI Caregiver Assistance Self-care, and PEDI Functional Skills Mobility. No adverse events were reported.
Children wearing the TheraSuit during an intensive therapy program did not demonstrate improved motor function compared with those wearing a control suit during the same program.
研究在强化治疗方案期间穿着特制服装对脑瘫儿童运动功能的影响。
将20名儿童随机分为实验组（治疗服组）和对照组（普通服装组），并参与强化治疗方案。在治疗前以及治疗后4周和9周进行小儿残疾评定量表（PEDI）和粗大运动功能测量量表（GMFM）-66评估。同时也评估了家长满意度。
两组之间未发现显著差异。在GMFM-66方面，对照组存在显著的组内差异；在GMFM-66、PEDI功能技能自理、PEDI照顾者协助自理以及PEDI功能技能移动方面，实验组存在显著的组内差异。未报告不良事件。
与在同一强化治疗方案期间穿着普通服装的儿童相比，穿着治疗服的儿童并未表现出运动功能的改善。
