About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common disorder which leads to physical disability in children throughout life and begins in early childhood. In cerebral palsy spasticity is considered as a primary factor leads to much impairment which is inversely related to functional development that means greater the spasticity lowers the level of function. There are many ways to treat spasticity which involve stretching, strengthening, postural education, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, cryotherapy and myofascial release technique.
