increased tone of lower extremity muscles interfere with the child sitting posture and trunk control. delayed sitting and lack of trunk control contribute to the impairments of upper extremity functions.~selective dorsal rhizotomy is a surgical procedure to control increased tone of the lower extremities. Therefore, the current study is carried out to investigate the effects of selective dorsal rhizotomy on trunk control, selectivity and upper extremity function of non-ambulant children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy
Children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy are late developers. delayed gross and fine motor development require early intervention to improve the child performance and avoid secondary impairments.
