Abstract: Objective To investigate the application of band to strengthen core stability training for cerebral palsy.Methods From May, 2015 to December, 2016, 70 children with spastic cerebral palsy in outpatient department were divided into control group (n=35) and observation group (n=35). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation training, and the control group accepted core stability training, while the observation group was trained with a band during core stability training, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Manual Muscle Test (MMT) before and after treatment.Results The scores of GMFM-88, BBS and MMT of external oblique improved in both groups after treatment (t>12.904, P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.121, P<0.05).Conclusion Strengthening core stability training with a band can further improve gross motor function, balance and muscle strength in the spastic cerebral palsy children.
