采用动态体位监测技术，对正常儿童和轻度痉挛性脑瘫儿童进行了前倾座椅底座对坐姿的影响检测。坐垫向前倾斜时，正常和脑瘫患者的头顶与坐垫之间的距离显著增加，正常竖脊肌活动增加。这种增加代表脊柱的纵向拉直和随之而来的后凸姿势的减少。脑瘫儿童的坐姿稳定性明显低于正常人。本研究的数据显示，大约10度的座椅前倾可能对脑瘫儿童有益，影响脊柱伸长，减少动态弯曲，改善坐姿稳定性。
A dynamic postural monitoring technique was developed and implemented to determine the effects of a forward-inclined seat base on the sitting posture of both normal children and children with mild spastic cerebal palsy. With the seat base tilted forward there was a significant increase in the distance between the top of head and the seat base, and an increase in the normalized erector spinae muscle activity for both the normal and cerebral palsy subjects. This increase represents a longitudinal straightening of the spine and consequent reduction in kyphotic posture. Sitting stability was significantly lower for children with cerebral palsy than for the normals. Data from this study reveal that an approximately 10-degrees anterior seat tilt may be beneficial for children with cerebral palsy, affecting spinal elongation, reducing dynamic curvatures, and improving sitting stability.
