Advance in Neuromuscular Function of Spastic Cerebral Palsy for Gait and Targeted Intervention (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Cerebral palsy is a motor and postural developmental disorder caused by brain injury. This disease not only shows the common features of upper motor neurons impairment affecting neuromuscular function and leading to gait abnormality, but also has its unique symptoms as a developmental disorder. This paper summarized the present research of neuromuscular tissue structure and functional performance in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, and explained the specific relationship between neuromuscular dysfunction and abnormal gait in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, according to gait cycle. Based on above, the targeted intervention measures are elaborated. It is aimed to improve the abnormal gait and achieve long-term prognosis of cerebral palsy.
