Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : To study influence of Whole Body Vibration Training(WBVT) in balance and gait of patient with spastic
cerebral palsy.
Methods : The subjects for this study includes 20 ambulatory patients with spastic cerebral palsy of GMFCS
level Ⅰ~Ⅱ. WBVT has been conducted in an inclined bed of 80 degrees with vibration frequency of 20Hz, 5 times a
week, total of 6 weeks. Before and after the training, Pediatric Balance Scale ( PBS ) and 10-Meter Walking
Test(10MWT) have been performed.
Result : WBVT result was improved compared to before training in PBS and 10MWT evaluation.
Conclusion : As a result of WBVT, the effect of improvement in PBS and 10MWT evaluation was that the vibration stimulation had an effect on the improvement of balance and gait function, and it is suitable as a training method for improving balance and gait function in spastic cerebral palsy.
