- Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of music therapy combined with sensory integration training on the improvement of motor function in children with cerebral palsy. Methods Fifty children with cerebral palsy were enrolled and randomly divided into the control (n = 25) and observation groups (n = 25). Conventional rehabilitation training was performed in the control group, and music therapy combined with sensory integration training were conducted on the basis of conventional rehabilitation training in the observation group. The course of treatment was 12 weeks in two groups. The 88-item version of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) scale and the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) scale were used to evaluate the gross motor function level and independence of daily life before and after the treatment in two groups. The differences were statistically compared between two groups. Results After 12 weeks of treatment, the D and E domain scores of GMFM-88 scale and WeeFIM scale of children in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.05), and the effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared with conventional rehabilitation training, music therapy combined with sensory integration training can improve the initiatives of children with cerebral palsy and improve their motor function and independent ability in daily life.
