Abstract: Objective: This study analysed the effectiveness of Neuro-DevelopmentalTherapy (NDT) with Myo-Fascial Release (MFR) on gross motor function in Children with spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methodology: Children with Spastic CP(n=10) were selected for the study from Department of physiotherapy, Capital University based upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria. ThenCP children underwent combined NDT and MFR. GMFM-88, QUEST & MTS was used as an outcome measure. During pre-test, each child was evaluated by using GMFM-88, QUEST, &MTS. Then intervention was provided for a duration of 3days per week for 4weeks then post test scores were recorded using tools. After stastical analysis done for obtaining the results. Results: After analysing and comparing the pre-test and post-test scores the result turned out to be significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: It is concluded that Neuro-Developmental Therapy (NDT) with Myo-Fascial Release (MFR) can improve gross motor function in Children with spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP).
