Summary

This study tests whether a remote physiotherapy program, based on the neurodevelopmental treatment (Bobath) model, can improve gross motor skills and daily function in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty children aged 6 months to 6 years will participate, with a caregiver helping during online sessions. The goal is to see if this telerehabilitation approach is a viable option for improving movement and performance at home.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: telerehabilitation program based on neurodevelopmental treatment (Bobath concept)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a practical home-based therapy option to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement and daily activities.
What could go wrong: This is a small early study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The remote format also depends on caregiver involvement and reliable internet access.
