About
The management of cerebral palsy is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Selective dorsal rhizotomy is a neurosurgical technique that aims to reduce spasticity in the lower limbs and improve motor function.
Full description
the current study is designed to assess the effectiveness of Selective dorsal rhizotomy on motor function in ambulant children with spastic diplegia. therefore, A convenient sample of ambulant children with spastic diplegia will be allocated to two groups of equal numbers (control and experimental)
