Transcript

We have outlined a novel massage techniques to alleviate the symptoms of cerebral palsy in injured neo rats. Currently, there are few animal studies on using massage therapy to improve symptoms of cerebral palsy. However, we have found promising results from abdominal massage in young rats that may improve their manipulation abilities.

There has been limited research on how massage can improve cerebral palsy. However, we have established animal models and massage techniques that can facilitate future research on the mechanism of massage in cerebral palsy. Tuina therapy is crucial for cerebral palsy.

Studying relevant mechanism after stabilizing massage techniques on animals can advance research. Chinese massage can positively impact the growth and the development of cerebral palsy, so we will focus on the of Chinese massage in cerebral palsy.

Summary

Here, we present a set of massage manipulations in the rat model of cerebral palsy that can considerably improve the motor function of cerebral palsy rats.
