- Original description
The study aims to compare Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) with Conventional Physical Therapy (CPT) for improving gross motor function in children aged 4-10 years with mixed cerebral palsy. This randomized controlled trial plans to include 50 participants divided into two groups. Group A will receive Sensory Integration Therapy, while Group B will receive Conventional Physical Therapy over a 12-week intervention period. Outcomes will be assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), Short Sensory Profile (SSP), and Parent-Reported Functional Independence \& Daily Activity Performance (PR-FADAP). Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. The study is expected to determine which intervention is more effective in improving gross motor function and sensory processing in children with mixed cerebral palsy.Read full original descriptionShow less
