简要总结
The aim was to evaluate the effect of using IASTM on passive ROM of the lower limbs and joint angles during gait in children with spastic diplegic CP. Methods: Thirty children with diplegic CP were randomly divided into 2 groups: a control group (which received a selected physical therapy program) and the study group (which received IASTM therapy in addition to the selected physical therapy program). They were treated three times weekly for six weeks. Passive ROM and active ROM during gait were assessed using a digital goniometer and Kinovea analysis software, respectively, before and after the proposed treatment period.
