Twenty cerebral-palsied children ranging in age from eight to 56 months and covering most diagnostic categories were allocated to a treatment group or to a control group after having been matched into pairs. Those in the treatment group received 16 sessions of controlled vestibular stimulation over a four-week period, while the control children did not. Motor function was measured one week and 18 weeks after treatment, and the same gains were found for the control and experimental groups. These results conflict with a recent report that vestibular stimulation is an effective therapy for cerebral-palsied children.
20名年龄在8至56个月之间、涵盖大多数诊断类别的脑瘫儿童在配对后被分配到治疗组或对照组。治疗组的儿童在四周内接受了16次控制性前庭刺激，而对照组儿童未接受。在治疗后1周和18周测量运动功能，发现对照组和实验组的改善情况相同。这些结果与最近一份关于前庭刺激是脑瘫儿童有效治疗方法的报告相矛盾。
