Abstract

Objective: Cerebral palsy is a nonprogressive disorder in body posture and movement, due to different etiologies. Different medical and rehabilitation interventions include MASSAGE have been used in these children. This study has been done to determine the effect of adding MASSAGE to OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY on MUSCLE TONE of children with SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY.Materials & Methods: This study was a double blind clinical trial. The children were recruited from clinics of University of Welfare & Rehabilitation Sciences. The individuals were divided to intervention and control groups. The routine rehabilitation techniques were done in 3 months in both groups. The intervention group received MASSAGE for 30 minutes before rehabilitation. Muscle tonicity was evaluated at the beginning of the study and 3 months later by Ashworth test. The data analysis was done by parametric (t test, paired t test) and nonparametric (Mann Whitney, Wilcoxon) tests.Results: Thirteen subjects of case (intervention) group and 14 subjects of control group were studied. The average age in case group and control group was 49.5, and 42.1 months respectively.There were no statistically significant differences in Tonicity of upper and lower limbs, trunk and neck between intervention group and control group (P>0.05). Conclusion: In general based on the results of this study, adding MASSAGE to OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY had no effect on tonicity of spastic cerebral palsied children. Regarding to some effects of MASSAGE mentioned in different articles on physical abilities of children with C.P. as well as executive limitations in this research, it is not possible to reject the effects of homeopathy on physical abilities of children with C.P.
