简要总结

The investigators hypothesize that children with spastic cerebral palsy will show greater improvements in gross motor function, associated developmental skills and growth after the 3 months of myofascial structural integration treatment, a form of deep massage, than they showed after a 3- or 6-month pre-treatment waiting period.

The investigators further hypothesize that children with spastic CP will maintain their gains in gross motor function for ≥ 3 months after completion of MSI treatment.

详细描述

  • The investigators will talk to you by telephone to determine if your child is eligible for the study.
  • The study lasts for a total of 12 months with the massage treatment period lasting 12 weeks.
  • The study entails a total of 10 sessions of Myofascial Structural Integration therapy over the 12-week period. Each session will last one hour.
  • The child will have an evaluation of motor functions and development on enrollment and at three-month intervals for a total of 5 evaluations.
