Effects of a Multimodal Neurorehabilitation Program on Gross Motor Function and Activity and Participation Performance in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A 9‐Month Longitudinal Study
These findings reinforce that a multimodal neurorehabilitation program, when structured within a standardized clinical protocol and tailored to the functional profile of each GMFCS level, may contribute meaningfully to motor development in children with CP. Furthermore, it promoted advances in mobility and social function at levels I, II, and III. At the more severe levels (IV and V), specific improvements in sitting posture were observed.
