Comparative Effects of Sensory Integration Therapy and Task Oriented Training On Gross Motor Functions in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder affecting motor functions, cognition, learning, speech, and independence. Individuals with cerebral palsy often face muscle tone abnormalities, making it difficult to perform gross motor functions in daily activities. Sensory Integration therapy and task-oriented training are two approaches to improve gross motor skills in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Comparing sensory integration therapy and task-oriented training can help understand how different intervention strategies affect gross motor function, and which is better among the both intervention.

In this study, the participants will be taken from Institute for Child Development of Delhi NCR. Participants will be selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. Study design will be experimental and total sample size is 20. Participants will then be divided into two groups (Group - A and Group -B). i.e 10 participants in each group. Group -A will receive sensory integration therapy and conventional therapy and Group – B will receive task oriented training and conventional therapy. The training programme will be given for 45 minutes, 5 times a week for 4 weeks**.**
