A guide to physiotherapy in cerebral palsy

This review aims to elucidate current thinking and physiotherapy practice in the treatment and management of children with cerebral palsy (CP). It discusses established approaches to treatment, such as Bobath/NDT, conductive education and sensory integration, commonly used by therapist to address the problems seen in children with CP. The review also explores interventions that are currently advocated for the treatment of specific groups of people with CP, including constraint induced movement therapy, partial body weight-supported treadmill training and strength-training programmes.
