Objective To evaluate the application effect of family-based continuing care in the rehabilitation process of children with cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 54 children with cerebral palsy who received rehabilitation treatment in our hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected research objects. They were divided into the research group (27 cases) and the control group (27 cases) by random numerical table method. The control group was given routine guidance and regular follow-up. On the basis of the control group, the research group was given a family-based continuing care for 6 months. The motor function score, ability of daily living activities, the parental nursing ability score and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups of children after the intervention. Results The gross motor function measureGMFM-88) score and the Children's Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM) score of the children in the research group were higher than those in the control (P < 0.05). The parental nursing ability score of the research group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05) The incidence of complications in the research group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of family-based continuing in the rehabilitation process of children with cerebral palsy can effectively improve the motor function and life independence ability of children, enhance the nursing ability of parents, and reduce the risk complications, which has high clinical application value.
