Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of Chinese Medical massage on the development of cerebral palsy infants. Methods 60 infants with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into treatment group (n=30), who accepted Vojta therapy and Chinese massage, and control group (n=30), who accepted Vojta therapy only, for 3 months. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), Gesell Developmental Schedules (GDS) and Ashworth scale before, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. Results The scores of Dimension A of GMFM, the adaptative, personal social quotient of GDS improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05) 3 months after treatment, as well as the scores of Dimension B and C of GMFM, and the scores of Ashworth scale 6 months after treatment (P<0.05).
