Methods： A total of 80 cerebral palsy kids with fine motor dysfunction were allocated into two groups by envelop, 40 cases in each group. Cases in the control group were treated with occupation therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were supplemented with acupuncture at the points of the three yang meridians of hand. The treatment was done every other day and 10 times for a course. There was a 15-day interval between two courses, and 3 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using Peabody developmental motor scale 2 （PDMS-2） and modified Ashworth scale （MAS） before and after treatment. Results： After treatment, the standard score for grasping （Grs）, standard score for visual-motor integration （Vis）, fine motor quotient （FMQ） and modified Ashworth scale （MAS） were significantly improved in both groups （P〈0.05）. The improvement in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus occupation therapy can achieve better effect than occupation therapy alone in improving fine motor functions of upper limbs in cerebral palsy kids.展开更多
