简要总结
The study was conducted to examine the impact of the action observation training (AOT) on gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Thirty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy aged from 4 to 7 years were randomly allocated into two groups of equal number; study group (A) and control group (B). Both groups received designed physical therapy program for 45 minutes, three times/ per week for two successive months. In addition, study group received action observation (AO) training for 30 minutes per session. All phases of gait cycle and functional ability of all children participating in both groups was assessed by kenovia software and gross motor function measure (GMFM) walking, running and jumping domain.

研究组 & 干预措施
Effect of action observation training on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy
Action observation training used to improve gross motor function including walking, jumping and running domain in children with cerebral palsy by observing at imitate phases of gait cycle performed by a normal person
干预措施: action observation trainingAOT refers to an observational practice that has been used extensively for the goal of motor programming and enhances motor learning and performance (Other)
action observation training
Action observation training (AO) is cognitive intervention technique that is used to improve and learn exercise skills in sports, athletes, the general public and patient with motor impairment

结局指标
主要结局
Primary Outcome Measure
时间窗: 8 weeks
1. Gross Motor Function Measure All children were assessed using the GMFM-88 scale. The GMFM scale has been validated to assess change in motor performance in children with CP. In this study we assessed the items of walking, running and jumping of the GMFM. The items are scored on four-point ordinal scales (0=cannot initiate; 1=initiates; 2=partially completes item; 3=completes item independently)
