There were 2 groups- Experimental group and Control group. Experimental group was given MFR with conventional physiotherapy for 25 mins/session for twice a week and Control group was given conventional physiotherapy for 25 mins/session twice a week for 4 weeks.



Pre and Post intervention assessment done by TCMS, TIS and Modified PRT showed significant improvement on trunk control in spastic cerebral palsy children (p<0.001)
