ABSTRACT
Several surgical procedures are used to treat dynamic pronation position of the forearm and flexion deformity of the wrist in cerebral palsy. Postoperative results of pronator teres rerouting were explored, while specially designed postoperative physiotherapy and its outcomes were limited. Herein, we present a case in whom the outcomes of electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) training were assessed after pronator teres rerouting and brachioradialis tendon to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon transfer combined with derotation osteotomy. The peak value increased, while the resting value decreased for the muscles after the intervention. Range of motion, hand function, manual ability, functional independence, and quality of life levels were improved. In conclusion, EMG biofeedback training may have a positive effect on neuromuscular control of pronator teres and brachioradialis. Free use of the upper extremity and improved manual ability positively affect the activity and quality of life of the patients.
