[Objective] Meta analysis was used to evaluate the effect of SPR on lower limb gait and joint kinematics in children with cerebral palsy. [Methods] Literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases. At least two reviewers independently extracted data. Cochrane 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of RCTs. MINORS was used to evaluate the methodological quality of nRCTs. Revman 5.3 software was used for data analysis. [Results] A total of 4115 literature were retrieved, including 1829 English literature and 2284 Chinese literature. After the screening, 7 were included in Meta analysis, all of which were English literature. A total of 219 patients with cerebral palsy were included in the meta-analysis, including 112 patients in SPR group and 107 patients in nSPR group. The results showed that SPR was better than the nSPR group in gait analysis (stride length), joint movement (knee extension, ankle back extension, ankle plantar flexion and foot forward angle) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gait frequency, gait speed, hip flexion/extension, hip extension, knee flexion/extension, knee flexion and swing, pelvic tilt angle and pelvic rotation angle between SPR group and nSPR group (P>0.05). [Conclusion] SPR can improve the gait quality of CP children, as well as the kinematic parameters of knee joint and ankle joint, and the improvement of distal joint is more obvious.
