Method： All of 286 cases that conformed to the diagnostic criteria of infantile cerebral palsy were treated with 7 types of tuina manipulations respectively to unblock the Governor Vessel, reinforce the kidney and strengthen the spleen, pinch along the spine, stimulate specific foot-reflex area and different spinal segments, accelerate recovery of muscle strength and increase joint range of motion, 25-30 min each treatment, once or twice a day, 30 d constitute a course of treatment. After this, the efficacy on femoral medial adduction and dorsiflexion angle and composite spasticity score （CSS） was evaluated. Result： The statistical analysis showed significant differences in dorsiflexion and femoral medial adduction angle and CCS scores （P〈0.01） after the treatments. Conclusion： Tuina plus music therapy can lubricate the joints, relax contraction of tendons, alleviate muscle spasm and improve scissors and toe-walking gaits, thereby benefiting the gross motor function of infants in sitting, kneeling, standing and walking.展开更多
