Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. 2007 Nov;27(11):797-800. Rehabilitation and

Acupuncture Center, Huaxi Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041,

China. hejinggs OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative

effect of AMIE methods on movement disorder in the child of convulsive

cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: 120 cases of CP children were randomly

divided into an integration treatment group and a rehabilitation group, 60

cases in each group. The integration treatment group were treated with

acupuncture (A), massage (M), injection (I) and five animal exercise (E)

therapies for 60 times, and the rehabilitation group were treated with Bobath

training therapy for 60 times. Scores for movement function before and after

treatment were used for assessment of therapeutic effect. Twelve months

later, understand whether or not the children can walk on ones own.

RESULTS: The total effective rate was 76.70% in the integration treatment

group and 58.4% in the rehabilitation group, with no significant difference

between the two groups (P > 0.05); there were significant differences in the

two groups in differences of movement function scores before and after

treatment (P < 0.05). After one year's follow-up survey, 36 children could

walk by themselves in the integration treatment group, which were

significantly more than 24 children in the rehabilitation group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: AMIE methods is effective for treatment of movement

disorder in the child of convulsive cerebral palsy, and the short-term

therapeutic effect is same as that of Bobath training method and the long-

term therapeutic effect is better than that of Bobath training method. PMID:
