简要总结
"Cerebral palsy (CP) affects gross motor function variably, with the spastic type notably impacting movement, coordination, and balance. Research highlights that spastic CP, characterized by muscle stiffness, can severely hinder activities like walking and running.
详细描述
Interventions such as gait training and vibrational therapy have shown promise in enhancing muscle function and body movements. A new device, EKKO, uses vibrational waves based on Neurotransmission Cognitive Theory to improve gross motor skills in children with CP by applying mechanical vibrations to nerve points. This study aims to compare the efficacy of EKKO therapy with traditional conservative treatments (such as range of motion exercises and balance training) in improving gross motor function in children with CP. Conducted over six months with randomized controlled trials, the research seeks to provide evidence-based insights into optimizing rehabilitation strategies for better motor performance and quality of life for CP patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Barthal index
时间窗: 12 Months
Barthel Index (BI) stands out as a widely utilized measure for assessing basic activities of daily living (ADL). Scores of 0-20 indicate "total" dependency. Scores of 21-60 indicate "severe" dependency. Scores of 61-90 indicate "moderate" dependency.
The use of FMA-UE
时间窗: 12 months
measureing comprising 30 items for motor function and 3 items for reflex function, provides a comprehensive evaluation of motor abilities . In regards to UE feature, 33 elements evaluate motor function, six items assess sensitivity and proprioception, while the last 24 points rate joint pain and mobility. Every item of the assessment scale is marked on an ordinal level, from 0 to 2; the 0 value corresponds with the impossibility to perform a movement, and 2 represents the ability to perform a complete and adequate movement
