Abstract: | Objective: To quantify the effect of motor-developmental Tuina therapy on 61 children with cerebral palsy. Methods: All the
children received the motor-developmental Tuina therapy for 20 min each time, 3 to 6 times per week. The gross motor functions
of the children were evaluated by GMFM 66. The baseline period evaluations in 15 children and follow-up period evaluations
in 26 children were performed. Results: GMFM 66 score significantly increased at the end of treatment period (P<0.001). The GMFM 66 score changes per month in treatment period was significantly greater than those of both baseline period
and follow-up period (P<0.001). Conclusion: The effect of motor-developmental Tuina therapy was notable on children with cerebral palsy. Continuous
progress of the gross motor functions in these children may be obtained by continuous therapy.
