Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of positioning on gross motor function and spasticity in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy children with Gross Motor Function Classification System level IV and V. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at two Paediatric Physical Therapy Centres from November 2018 to July 2019. The study was comprised of seventy four children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy aged between 3 to 8 years. Data was obtained and gross motor functional abilities and spasticity were assessed by GMFM-88 and Modified Ashworth Scale respectively. Twenty four-hour positioning in specific seats, night positioning and standing frames for six months. The child was being positioned in 24 hours according to his challenges for the period of six months. Semi reclined positioning was performed to manage aspiration, oral leak and to develop retention. Prone positioning was done to develop righting reactions, functional sitting position was used in the treatment regime to attain better upright position and neutral pelvic standing using standing frames. SPSS 24 was used to analyse the data. Results: Paired t-test reported significant improvement in the test scores in lying position, rolling, sitting position, crawling, kneeling, standing, walking or running. n=59 subjects exhibited improvement in the spasticity before and after interventional procedures, while n=15 showed no improvement as the value of p<0.05. Conclusion: Twenty-Four-hour proper body positioning and postural techniques improved gross motor functioning in all of the five dimensions of functioning. The overall spasticity in quadriplegic cerebral palsy children was also reduced due to appropriate positioning techniques.  Continuous....

AbstractSpastic Cerebral Palsy is a type of Cerebral Palsy that experiences stiffness or tightness of the muscles. These muscles become stiff because messages to the muscles are conveyed incorrectly by the damaged part of the brain. The presence of spasticity will affect gross motor function disorders in children with cerebral palsy. One of the physiotherapy approaches to improve gross motor function is hippotherapy. This literature review study aims to describe gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children after giving hippotherapy from several articles. The selection of articles in this study was a literature review analysis using the PICO method, five articles were obtained for review from several data bases such as PubMed (n=2) and Google Scholar (n=3). The measuring instrument uses GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) to measure gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children. The results of the literature review analysis in these five articles indicate that hippotherapy can improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children with an average value before the action of 63.65 and after the action of 66.68. From the results of the literature review of these five articles, it shows that hippotherapy is proven to improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children before and after giving intervention with hippotherapy modality with an average difference of 3.03. Hippotherapy can be used as a reference material for interventions or research materials or physiotherapy research, especially in pediatric cases.Keywords: GMFM; spastic cerebral palsy; hippotherapy AbstrakCerebral Palsy Spastik merupakan salah satu jenis Cerebral Palsy yang mengalami kekakuan atau keketatan otot-otot. Otot ini menjadi kaku karena pesan pada otot disampaikan secara tidak benar oleh bagian otak yang rusak. Adanya spastisitas akan berpengaruh terhadap gangguan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy. Salah satu pendekatan fisioterapi untuk meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar adalah hippotherapy. Penelitian literature review ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik setelah pemberian hippotherapy dari beberapa artikel. Pemilihan artikel pada penelitian ini yaitu analisis literature review dengan metode PICO, didapatkan lima artikel untuk direview dari beberapa data base sepertiPubMed (n=2) dan Google Scholar (n=3). Alat ukur menggunakan GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) untuk mengukur fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik. Hasil analisis literature review pada kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik dengan nilai rata-rata sebelum tindakan 63,65 dan sesudah tindakan 66,68. Dari hasil literature review kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy terbukti dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik sebelum dan sesudah pemberian intervensi dengan modalitas hippotherapy dengan hasil selisih rata-rata sebesar 3,03. Hippotherapy dapat digunakan sebagai bahan acuan untuk intervensi maupun bahan riset atau penelitian fisioterapi khususnya pada kasus pediatric.Kata kunci : GMFM;cerebral palsy spastik;hippotherapy

Objective: The goal of this study is to explore the effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with 5-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on improving spastic state and motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy by measuring electrophysiological parameters and behaviors.Methods: Twenty-five children with spastic cerebral palsy were enrolled in a single-blind and randomized controlled trial. The control group received 20 sessions of 5-Hz rTMS over the affected hemisphere with 1,000 pulses. The experimental group was given wrist-ankle acupuncture on the basis of the control group. Gross motor function measure (GMFM-66), muscle tension, and electrophysiological parameters of the two groups were assessed at baseline and after intervention.Results: After treatment, the GMFM-66 scores in the same groups were significantly improved (p &lt; 0.001). Besides, the R-value of soleus, gastrocnemius, and hamstring muscle decreased (p &lt; 0.05), and the results showed a trend of shortening MEP latency, increasing amplitude and duration (p &lt; 0.05). Compared to the controlled group, the experimental group displayed more excellent changes in the GMFM-66 scores and motor evoked potential (MEP) latency. The statistical results showed that the increase of GMFM-66 score and the shortening of MEP latency in the experimental group were greater than that in the control group (p &lt; 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in the assessment of muscle tension, amplitude, and duration of MEPs between two groups (p &gt; 0.05).Conclusion: Wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with 5-Hz rTMS is optimal to improve gross motor function and enhance the conductivity of corticospinal tract in children with cerebral palsy but cannot highlight its clinical superiority in improving spasticity.Clinical Trial Registration: [http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx], identifier [chictr2000039495].
