Summary

This study tested whether multisensory environment stimulation therapy (a specially designed room with controlled lights, sounds, and textures) can improve balance in children aged 9 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. 38 children participated, and the therapy was added to standard physical therapy. The goal was to see if this approach helps with postural control and daily balance skills.
