摘      要：To investigate the effect of early rehabilitation on neurofunctional outcome after surgery in chil- dren with spinal tumors, this study reviewed the medical charts and radiographic records of 70 pediatric patients （1-17 years old） who received spinal tumor surgical removal. The peddiatric patients received rahabilitation treatment at 4 （range, 2-7） days after surgery for 10 （range, 7-23） days. Results from the Modified McCormick Scale, Functional Independence Measure for Chil- dren, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale and Karnofsky Performance Status Scale demonstrated that the sensory function, motor function and activity of daily living of pedi- atric children who received early rehabilitation were significantly improved. Results also showed that tumor setting and level localization as well as patients＇s clinical symptoms have no influences on neurofunctional outcomes.
