Objective To investigate the effect of combined EEG and myoelectrical biofeedback therapy on cerebral function and upper and lower limb motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods A total of 96 children with spastic cerebral palsy who were admitted to the Affiliated Chaohu Hospital of Anhui Medical University between September 2014 and August 2019 were selected and divided into four groups (control, myoelectric, EEG and combined) using a random number table method with 24 patients ineach. The control group was given routine rehabilitation training, and the EMG, EEG, and combined groups were treated with EMG and EEG plus EMG biofeedback on the basis of the control group for a period of three months. Waves were collected from the children before and after treatment(θWave, βWave, θ/βWave, αWave, SMR wave vs α/SMR), before versus three months after treatment, and 1 year after treatment, the children's fine motor was assessedusing the fine motor ability test scale (FMFM), the children's gross motor was assessed using the gross motor function scale (GMFM), and intergroup comparisons were made.Results The differencesin grouping effect, time effect and grouping and time interaction effect of FMFM score and GMFM score in each group were statistically significant (P<0.05); The differences in groups θWave grouping, time and grouping and time effect were statistically significant (P<0.05), while the differences in βWave/θ/βWave value αWave, SMR wave grouping, time and grouping and time effect were not statistically significant (P>0.05).There was statistical significance in difference between wave/SMR wave value grouping and time effect (P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance in difference between grouping and time interaction effect (P>0.05).Conclusion Combined EEG and EMG biofeedback therapy is beneficial in improving the fine motor function of the upper limbs compared with the gross motor function of the lower limbs and improving the brain functionof children with spastic cerebral palsy. |
