- Abstract:
- Objective To investigate the application value of oral motor rehabilitation training guided by surface electromyography (EMG) monitoring for children with cerebral palsy. Methods Sixty children with cerebral palsy and oral dyskinesia treated in Liuzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The children in control group were given routine oral motor training, while those in observation group were treated with oral motor training guided by surface EMG monitoring. Both groups were trained for 12 weeks. Before and after training, the oral muscle movement functions were evaluated with the language development assessment scale (S-S) and oral motor function assessment scale before and after training; The Root mean square (RMS) of infrahyoid muscles, submental muscles and masseter muscles were determined by surface EMG. Results Before training, no significant differences were found between the two groups in scores of S-S and oral motor function assessment scale (P>0.05). After 12 weeks of training, scores in the two groups were increased (P<0.05), and observation group showed more significant increases than control group (P<0.05). Before training, the RMS of masseter muscles, submental muscles, infrahyoid muscles in relaxation and active states didn’t showed any statistical differences between the two groups (P>0.05). After 12 weeks of training, RMS of all muscles were increased, and the increases of all muscles in different states were more remarkable in observation group than control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Applying surface EMG monitoring in the rehabilitation training of children with cerebral palsy and oral dyskinesia can enhance the effect of rehabilitation training and improve the oral motor functions of children.
