Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are frequently referred for physical therapy, yet the effectiveness of treatment has not been well-documented. In the relatively few available studies, outcomes are divided between support and lack of support for treatment. The purpose of this research was to document and evaluate the effects of a physical therapy program on the reaching movements of children with spastic CP.
