Background:

Neurodevelopmentaltherapy (NDT) refers to those activities that enable the child to practice the perfect skills. These types of exercises are used to improve movement and postural reactions; thereby it improves gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The specific objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of NDT in gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy.
