• Cerebral palsy (CP)
• Postural reactions
• Dynamics of postural control
• Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)
• Neurofacilitation of Developmental Reaction (NFDR)

A Randomized Controlled trial was done on 30 (CP) children of age range 6 mon to 2 y with an objective to see the efficacy of Neurofacilitation of Developmental Reaction (NFDR) approach over Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT) for integration / modification of early motor behavior (Primitive Reflexes) in Cerebral Palsy (CP). The baseline evaluation was done for tone, postural reactions and GMFM. The subjects were randomly allocated to two groups. With group A, NFDR and group B, conventional approach (NDT) was used for 3 mon followed by re-evaluation. Between groups analysis was done and p value was found to be significant. It was concluded that NFDR approach is more effective than NDT for integration / modification of early motor behavior in children with CP.
