: To observe the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) training in conjunction with conventional physical therapy (PT) on joint-position sense (JPS), balance, and gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). In this randomized controlled study, 24 children with CP were randomly selected either to continue their conventional PT or to receive WBV in conjunction with their conventional PT programme. Exposure to the intervention was intermittent (3 min WBV, 3 min rest) for 20 minutes, twice weekly for 3 weeks. JPS, balance, and gait were evaluated before and after treatment. Ankle JPS was improved after 3 weeks of WBV training (=0.014). Participants in the WBV group showed greater improvements in speed (=5.221, =0.035) and step width (=4.487, =0.039) than participants in the conventional PT group. Three weeks of WBV training was effective in improving ankle JPS and gait variables in children with CP.
观察全身振动(WBV)训练结合传统物理治疗(PT)对脑瘫(CP)患儿关节位置觉(JPS)、平衡能力和步态的影响。在这项随机对照研究中,随机选取24名CP患儿,一部分继续接受传统PT治疗,另一部分在接受传统PT治疗方案的同时接受WBV训练。干预为间歇性进行(3分钟WBV,3分钟休息),共20分钟,每周两次,持续3周。在治疗前后对JPS、平衡能力和步态进行评估。WBV训练3周后,踝关节JPS得到改善(=0.014)。与传统PT组相比,WBV组参与者在速度(=5.221,=0.035)和步幅(=4.487,=0.039)方面有更大改善。3周的WBV训练对改善CP患儿的踝关节JPS和步态变量有效。
