ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess and evaluate the change in functional skills among children with cerebral palsy (CP) who participated in an intensified habilitation program.

Methods: In this prospective longitudinal study, a cohort of 39 preschool children (2–5 years) with cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I–V) together with their parents participated in an intensified multidimensional habilitation program for 1 year. Activities strengthening functional skills were among the main interventions. The children were evaluated with the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory before and after the program period.

Results: Only children at GMFCS levels I–II showed improvements in mobility and social function on norm-referenced scales. After the intervention period, these children scored similar to the mean for typically developing children of the same age on the social function domain.

Conclusions: Functional skills among preschool children with CP, GMFCS levels I–II, seems strengthened after participation in an intensified habilitation program.

摘要

目的：评估和评估参加强化康复计划的脑性瘫痪（CP）儿童的功能技能变化。

方法：在这项前瞻性纵向研究中，一组39名学龄前儿童（2-5岁）患有脑性瘫痪（运动功能分类系统I-V级），并与他们的父母一起参加了为期1年的强化多维适应训练。加强功能技能的活动是主要干预措施之一。在项目开始之前和之后，对儿童进行儿童残疾评估小儿评估。

结果：只有在GMFCS I–II级的儿童才能以标准参照量表显示出活动能力和社会功能的改善。干预期过后，这些孩子在社交功能领域的得分与通常发育的同龄孩子的平均值相似。

结论：参加强化训练计划后，学龄前儿童CP的GMFCS I–II水平的功能技能似乎得到了增强。
