Summary

This study compares two physical therapy approaches for children aged 8-24 months with or at high risk for cerebral palsy. One method focuses on sitting, reaching, and problem-solving, while the other targets general motor skills. The goal is to see which therapy improves sitting and overall development more effectively.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Dx or clinical signs of cerebral palsy (CP) previously described * Between 8-24 months of age (corrected for prematurity as applicable) at study entry * Able to prop sit for 3 seconds, maintain the head at least to the level of neutral alignment with the trunk supported at the axilla, exhibit some spontaneous movement of the arms and visually focus on a toy or person's face for at least 3 seconds in any position. * Gross motor delay with a Bayley IV gross motor subscale score less than 5.5 (1.5 standard deviation below mean) Exclusion Criteria: * Medical complications that severely limit assessments/intervention participation such as severe visual impairment, congenital/orthopedic anomalies that limit sitting or reaching, or uncontrolled seizures. * A child will be excluded if the parents report any of following: 1) disability of a progressive nature such as muscular dystrophy or leukodystrophy; 2) family plans to move out of the local area within one year from the start of the study; 3) major surgery planned that might affect physical performance. 4) genetic conditions that have a similar presentation to intellectual disability or autism.
