Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of motor development massage and neural development approach on the children with cerebral palsy. Methods The children with cerebral palsy were selected with layered matching as they accepted motor development massage or neural development approach, and reviewed with their score of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). Results There were 24 children in each group. The GMFM-66 score increased after treatment in both groups, but there was no statistical difference between these groups. Conclusion The gross motor function can be improved in the children with cerebral palsy with motor-development massage and neural development approach similarly.
