Summary
This study tested if a technique called instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) could improve walking and flexibility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Thirty children aged 5 to 8 were split into two groups: one received standard physical therapy, and the other received IASTM plus standard therapy for six weeks. The results showed that adding IASTM helped improve joint movement during walking and increased flexibility.
