Sensory Integration Therapy vs Conventional Physical Therapy in Children With Mixed Cerebral Palsy

The study aims to compare Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) with Conventional Physical Therapy (CPT) for improving gross motor function in children aged 4-10 years with mixed cerebral palsy. This randomized controlled trial plans to include 50 participants divided into two groups. Group A will receive Sensory Integration Therapy, while Group B will receive Conventional Physical Therapy over a 12-week intervention period. Outcomes will be assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), Short Sensory Profile (SSP), and Parent-Reported Functional Independence \& Daily Activity Performance (PR-FADAP). Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at p \< 0.05. The study is expected to determine which intervention is more effective in improving gross motor function and sensory processing in children with mixed cerebral palsy.
