The study was conducted to examine the impact of the action observation training (AOT) on gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Thirty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy aged from 4 to 7 years were randomly allocated into two groups of equal number; study group (A) and control group (B). Both groups received designed physical therapy program for 45 minutes, three times/ per week for two successive months. In addition, study group received action observation (AO) training for 30 minutes per session. All phases of gait cycle and functional ability of all children participating in both groups was assessed by kenovia software and gross motor function measure (GMFM) walking, running and jumping domain.

| Primary Outcome Measure | 1. Gross Motor Function Measure All children were assessed using the GMFM-88 scale. The GMFM scale has been validated to assess change in motor performance in children with CP. In this study we assessed the items of walking, running and jumping of the GMFM. The items are scored on four-point ordinal scales (0=cannot initiate; 1=initiates; 2=partially completes item; 3=completes item independently) | 8 weeks |
