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.
