BACKGROUND: The pelvic control ability is poor in cerebral palsy children. The time for treatment is long, and the effect is not obvious. OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effect of appropriateness exercise for power on pelvic control ability under the guidance of three-dimensional gait analysis. METHODS: A total of 60 cerebral palsy children with spastic palsy (>= 2 years old) were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group and control group. Treatment group got appropriateness exercise for power under the guidance of three-dimensional gait analysis and chirismus treatment, while the control group only got chirismus treatment. The gross motor function measure, Berg balance score and gross motor function classification system were evaluated before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The video showed that both the gait and the motor ability were improved obviously in treatment group, and were better than those in the control group. There was no significant difference of the gross motor function measure score, Berg balance score and gross motor function classification system between two groups (p > 0.05). The post-treatment Berg balance score and gross motor function measure score in the treatment group were significantly higher than those pre-treatment (p < 0.01), and the post-treatment gross motor function classification was lower than that pre-treatment (p < 0.01). The post-treatment Berg balance score and gross motor function measure score in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.01). On the base of the chirismus treatment, appropriateness exercise for power under the guidance of three-dimensional gait analysis can effectively improve the pelvic control ability and accordingly improve the gait and elevate motor ability in the cerebral palsy children.
