Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of rehabilitation treatment based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) Core Sets on activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS The children with cerebral palsy were divided into an observation group (n=63) and a control group (n=59) using a random number table. The children in the observation group were evaluated using the brief ICF-CY Core Sets for children under 6 years to identify intervention targets and develop rehabilitation plans and goals, and then specific methods were selected for rehabilitation treatment. The children in the control group were evaluated and treated with the traditional rehabilitation mode. The scores of the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) and the Infants-Junior Middle School Students' Social-Life Abilities Scale were assessed for both groups before treatment and after three courses of treatment. The intervention of environmental factors was compared between the two groups. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the scores of the WeeFIM and Social-Life Abilities scales between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, both groups had significant increases in the scores of the WeeFIM and Social-Life Abilities scales (P 0.05), but the use rate of assistive devices for self-help, transfer and communication, the rate of facility renovation, and the rate of family rehabilitation guidance in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The rehabilitation treatment regimen for cerebral palsy based on the CF-CY Core Sets pays more attention to the influence of environmental factors in the process of rehabilitation and can effectively improve the activities of daily living of children with cerebral palsy.
