    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of conductive education combined with Frenkel training in the improvement of balance function in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS: One hundred and fifteen children with cerebral palsy were randomly administered with conductive education and Frenkel training (study group, n=60) or conventional training (control group, n=55). Activities of daily living (ADL) scale and gross motor function measurement (GMFM) of physical performances were used to assess the balance function. RESULTS: The scores of ADL scale and GMFM of physical performances in both the study and the control groups increased after training. The study group showed higher scores of ADL scale (37.91+/-10.12 vs 34.18+/-6.13; p<0.05)and GMFM (62.93+/-15.00 vs 54.53+/-14.11) than the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Conductive education combined with Frenkel training is more effective for the improvement of balance function in children cerebral palsy.
