Objective To analyze the correlation between condition of patients with spastic cerebral palsy, including age, sex, weight, number affected limb and gross motor function their rehabilitation effect after selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) , to explore possible factors that contribute in palsy.

Methods Totally 53 palsy admitted Departments Orthopedics Rehabilitation Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University Chinese Medicine were selected from October 2013 2015. The received uniform standard treatment SPR, was evaluated Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before surgery six months surgery. Then patients' GMFM score difference analyzed.

Results The improved negatively correlated age (r=-0.30, P 0.05) or (r=-0.20, P>0.05) .

Conclusions For aged 3 25, earlier they are treated, better is. should control weight properly so as not affect cannot help predict recovery Researchers will continue conduct large-sample multi-factor studies order verify current conclusions influencing SPR a more comprehensive way.
