Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of functional point injection on upper limbs disorder in cerebral palsy infants. Methods120 cases were divided into 2 groups and each with 60 cases. The treatment group was given rehabilitation and functional point injection (injecting VitB1>, VitB12 in the acu-points selected at the disorder muscles) and the control group was given rehabilitation alone. All the cases were assessed with Peabody Developmental Motor Scale Fine Motor (PDMS-FM) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). ResultsThe scores of both PDMS-FM and MAS improved in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionFunctional point injection can improve the recovery of upper limbs disorder in cerebral palsy infants.
