What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of play-based rehabilitation delivered as usual care for children with cerebral palsy. It compares two formats of rehabilitation: intensive care, which consists of three daily sessions for five days a week over three weeks, and extensive care, which includes three sessions per week for 15 weeks. The aim is to determine if the delivery format impacts the rehabilitation outcomes in this population. The study is conducted in rehabilitation centers that provide both intensive and extensive care.
