Qigong massage for motor skills in young children with cerebral palsy and down syndrome / Louisa M. T. SILVA in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/3 (mai-juin 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/3 (mai-juin 2012) . - p. 348-355 Titre : Qigong massage for motor skills in young children with cerebral palsy and down syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Louisa M. T. SILVA ; et al. ; Jodi GARBERG ; Mark SCHALOCK Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 348-355 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Motricité  Respiration  Gymnastique  Enfant Résumé : In this article, we present a small randomized controlled study evaluating the effect of a dual parent- and trainer-delivered qigong massage methodology on motor skills and sensory responses in 28 children under age 4 with developmental delay and motor tone abnormalities. Fourteen children had high motor tone as a result of cerebral palsy (CP), and 14 children had low motor tone as a result of Down syndrome. Multivariate analysis and post hoc analysis of variance showed large effect-size improvements in Peabody Gross Motor Scale (PGMS) Object Manipulation scores (p < .01) and large effect-size improvements in overall PGMS scores (p < .04) in treatment versus control groups after 5 mo intervention. Follow-up evaluation 10 mo from the start indicated continued improvement. Sensory responses showed no treatment effect. The results suggest further investigation of qigong massage as a promising avenue for research to improve motor skills in young children with CP and Down syndrome.
