Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intensive rehabilitation training on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. Methods101 children with cerebral palsy were divided into routine group (n=51) and trunk group (n=50). They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and after treatment. ResultsThe scores of GMFM improved in both group after treatment. There was significant difference between them 6 months after treatment (P<0.05), but not within 3 months (P＞0.05). ConclusionIntensive rehabilitation training can improve the recovery of gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

Key words: cerebral palsy, intensive training, rehabilitation, gross motor function
