Summary

This trial compares two physiotherapy methods—Perception-Action Approach and Neurodevelopmental Therapy (Bobath)—for children aged 0 to 36 months with cerebral palsy or at high risk. Over 12 weeks, 24 participants will receive weekly therapy sessions and be assessed for motor function and development. The goal is to identify which approach better supports early motor skills and guide families and therapists in choosing the most effective intervention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: physiotherapy (Perception-Action Approach or Neurodevelopmental Therapy/Bobath)
What this could lead to: If successful, this study could help therapists and families choose a more effective early intervention approach to improve motor function in young children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The study compares two existing therapies, so no new treatment is being tested.
