Overview

Systematic review evaluates how practice time and assessment methods affect outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.

Key Points

  • Conductive Education shows promise in improving motor performance for children with cerebral palsy.
  • Positive outcomes correlate with longer practice durations, averaging 25.2 hours per week.
  • Seventy percent of studies reviewed indicated beneficial effects, especially in spastic cerebral palsy cases.
  • Standardized treatment protocols are needed to enhance evidence quality and consistency in outcomes.
