简要总结
The study was conducted to assess the influence of aerobic exercise on inhibitory control of executive functions in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Inhibitory control of executive functions (EF) is one of the main specific cognitive impairments that affect children with cerebral palsy, cognitive skills begin to develop in infancy and continuing through the pre-school years, childhood and into adolescence it changes across the lifespan of an individual and has great effect on their participation and quality of life. The aim of study was to assess the influence of aerobic exercise on inhibitory control of executive functions in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Sixty children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were enrolled in this study and were assessed for eligibility. Their aged ranged from seven and eleven years. They were assigned randomly into two equal groups. Group (A) the study group received aerobic exercise in addition to selected physical therapy program. And group (B) the control group received the same selected physical therapy program only. The treatment was conducted for one hour, three times / weak for three successful months. Eriksen flanker test and Stroop Color-Word test were used to assess inhibitory control of EF pre and post treatment.

盲法说明
Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: Group A (control group) and Group B (study group).

结局指标
主要结局
The mean values of the Flanker test accuracy, congrunent reaction time and incongruent reaction time
时间窗: Eriksen flanker test was assessed at day 0, 90.
the Eriksen flanker task is a set of response inhibition tests used to assess the ability to suppress responses that are inappropriate in a particular context. The target is flanked by non-target stimuli which correspond either to the same directional response as the target (congruent flankers), to the opposite response (incongruent flankers), or to neither (neutral flankers).
The mean values of the Stroop test accuracy, congrunent reaction time and incongruent reaction time
时间窗: Stroop Color-Word test was assessed at day 0, 90.
The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) is a neuropsychological test extensively used to assess the ability to inhibit cognitive interference that occurs when the processing of a specific stimulus feature impedes the simultaneous processing of a second stimulus attribute, well-known as the Stroop Effect.
