A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares Sensory Integration Therapy with Conventional Physical Therapy in children aged 6 to 12 years with athetoid cerebral palsy. Participants must be GMFCS I–III and able to follow simple instructions. The study aims to determine differences in gross motor outcomes between the two rehabilitation approaches. It is conducted at the Free Birds Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences in Mansehra, Pakistan, with Ibadat International University as the lead sponsor. No collaboration organizations are listed.
