Summary

The main outcome of physical therapy interventions is the progress of gross motor functions which result from the interactions between many factors not limited to physical, medical or surgical interventions but also including child characteristics and socializing agents. Aim of the study: To determine the effect of socioeconomic status (SES), child characteristics (age, sex, severity, and type of cerebral palsy) on the progress of gross motor functions in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Prospective cohort study on eighty children (44 boys, 36 girls) aging 3.11 ± 0.88 years old, diagnosed as spastic cerebral palsy. The gross motor function measure (GMFM-88) between two-time intervals with follow-up time 6 months Results: The median of the mean difference for the GMFM scores was related to socioeconomic status, age, sex, severity, and type of CP.

Interventions

OTHER

physical therapy intervention

NDT bases on neuroplasticity by which the brain change and reorganize itself and its processes according to practice and experience by a) facilitation of normal postural alignment and movement patterns; b) inhibition of the involvement during developmental and functional activities; and c) using sensory feedback (manual contact, visual integration, somatosensory reinforcement) for recovering function
