Abstract

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Bobath and Conventional approach for development of gross motor function in children of cerebral palsy (CP).
Methodology: Twenty-two children of CP were allocated by two equal groups i.e. Cconventional and neurodevelopment management. They were treated for 24 weeks, 40mins/day each patient, 5days/week. All were tested by Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and 24 weeks after treatment.
Results: Bobath technique was more effective as compared to conventional treatment. Bobath technique was effective in all regions, especially in motor development.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that Bobath technique is more effective as compared to conventional treatment.

Key words: Neurodevelopmental, cerebral palsy, Bobath approach.
