The effectiveness and safety of electromyography biofeedback therapy for motor dysfunction of children with cerebral palsy: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To investigate the effectiveness and safety of electromyography (EMG) biofeedback therapy in improving motor dysfunction among children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods and analysis

The following databases will be searched: PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Technology Periodical Database (VIP), WanFang Data and China Biology Medicine (CBM) from inception to June 2019. All relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) utilizing EMG biofeedback therapy for CP will be included. The main outcome is the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Additional outcomes such as the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Integral Electromyogram (iEMG), Composite Spasticity Scale (CSS), passive range of motion (PROM) or o
