Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the improve on brain activity during action observation training for cerebral palsy of diplegia.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: 18 subjects were divide into two groups: action observation training group and a control group. Action observation group practiced repeatedly the action with their motor skill and control group practiced conventional physical therapy. The subjects participated in eighteen 30-min sessions, 3 day a week, for 6week. To confirm the effects on brain activity were evaluated.
Results: The results show that the Mu-rhythm was statistically significant increase on the C3 of the action observation training group (p＜0.05).
Conclusion: The action observation training improves brain activity of a cerebral palsy with diplegia. These results suggest that the action observation training is feasible and beneficial for improving brain activation for the cerebral palsy with diplegia. In the future, I think we need to be actively utilized to the action observation training program in the clinical with the neuromuscular development treatment. And the study on the various the action observation training program that can improve the function of the children with cerebral palsy is thought necessary.
