Effects of Dosing and Environment on Gross Motor and Spasticity in Spastic Quadriplegic

This study focuses on how enriched environment along with the traditional physical therapy improves the gross motor function in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy children. And how much dosing is required to gain that clinically significant improvement.

There is still a blurred area regarding dosage parameter in cerebral palsy rehabilitation. This study is focused primarily on the fact that level appropriate selection of time, type, frequency, and intensity of intervention (sensory and motor) plays a very vital role in developing gross motor functions. Secondly it is very important to establish the impact of enriched environmental inputs and foster parent capacity as an early intervention taking into account cerebral palsy (CP) specific positioning and handling along with level appropriate sensory inputs.
