Objective@#To access the influence of voice disorders on children′s voice-related quality of life through the parental version of pediatric voice handicap index (pVHI).@*Methods@#From April 2017 to March 2018, a total of 192 children with voice disorders (dysphonic group) and 111 children without voice disorders (control group) were enrolled in this work. Parents of children in both groups were asked for fill out the questionnaire containing the parental version of pVHI and the data of non-normal distribution were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman test was used for correlation analysis.@*Results@#(1)Vocal cord nodule was the most common voice disorder in children, and boys were more susceptible to voice disorder than girls in this study (70.3%(135/192) vs 29.7%(57/192)). (2)The most common voice abuse or misuse habit was "Shouting loudly". (3)In dysphonic group, the scores of function, physiology, emotion and total were higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). (4)In dysphonic group, there was a weak correlation between the parents′ overall evaluation of the children′s voice status and the three dimensions of the parental version of pVHI (function: r=0.339, physiology: r=0.334, emotion: r=0.208, all P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#Voice disorders can cause a negative impact on children′s quality of life. Parental version of pVHI can be used to assess the voice-related quality of life in children with voice disorders.

@#Objective To explore the rehabilitation for chorea after bilateral thalamus hemorrhage. Methods A case was reviewed. Re-sults The score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment of balance increased from 0 to 7, the modified Barthel Index increased from 25 to 50, and the co-ordination of movement improved significantly after rehabilitation treatment. Conclusion Early comprehensive rehabilitation may reduce the chorea movement, improve the activities of daily living and balance for chorea after bilateral thalamus hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the effects of respiratory training on motor function in patients with acute stroke. Methods From 2012 to 2014, 80 patients with acute stroke were randomly assigned into treatment group and control group equally. The control group re-ceived routine rehabilitation training, while the treatment group received respiratory training in addition. All the patients were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Bathel Index (MBI) before and eight weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA and MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>3.938, P<0.001) after treatment. Conclusion Respiratory training may promote the recovery of motor function in acute stroke patients.
