PURPOSE
To examine the feasibility of using lower body positive pressure supported (LBPPS) treadmill training to improve the walking abilities, balance and lower extremity strength of children with cerebral palsy (CP).
METHODS
Nine children with CP (GMFCS II-IV) participated in LBPPS treadmill training 2 days per week for 6 weeks. Pre and post training measures of preferred walking speed, spatiotemporal kinematics, lower extremity strength, and the BESTest were used to assess potential improvements from LBPPS treadmill training.
RESULTS
LBPPS treadmill training resulted in significantly faster walking speed, less time in double support, improved overall balance, and strength of the lower extremity antigravity musculature.
CONCLUSIONS
It is feasible to use LBPPS treadmill training to improve the walking performance, balance, and strength of children with CP.
目的
探讨使用下身正压支持（LBPPS）跑步机训练改善脑瘫（CP）患儿步行能力、平衡能力和下肢力量的可行性。
方法
9名GMFCS II-IV级的CP患儿每周进行2天的LBPPS跑步机训练，共6周。采用训练前后的首选步行速度、时空运动学、下肢力量和BESTest测试来评估LBPPS跑步机训练的潜在改善效果。
结果
LBPPS跑步机训练使步行速度显著加快，双支撑时间减少，整体平衡能力提高，下肢抗重力肌肉力量增强。
结论
使用LBPPS跑步机训练改善CP患儿的步行表现、平衡能力和力量是可行的。
