Summary

This study tests a therapy called VOJTA for children aged 2 to 6 with ataxic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects balance and coordination. The therapy uses gentle pressure on specific body areas to activate natural movement patterns. Researchers will compare VOJTA to standard physical therapy in 40 children over 8 weeks to see if it improves muscle tone, motor skills, and balance.
