AB  - PURPOSE: To examine the effects of task-oriented activities based on 
      neurodevelopmental therapy (TOA-NDT) principles on trunk control, balance, and 
      gross motor function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP). 
      MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-four children with SDCP, aged 7-15 years, were 
      recruited to participate in the randomized clinical trial. After random 
      allocation, twenty-two (n = 22) children with SDCP participated in TOA-NDT 
      principles and twenty-two (n = 22) in conventional physiotherapy (CPT) program. 
      Each group underwent the treatment for a duration of 60min per day, 6 days a week 
      for 6 weeks. Gross motor function measure-88 (GMFM-88), postural assessment scale 
      (PAS), pediatric balance scale (PBS), and trunk impairment scale (TIS) were the 
      outcome measures used to document the pre- and post-intervention effect. RESULTS: 
      The mean difference of GMFM-88, PAS, PBS, and TIS was 8.53 (5.84-11.23), 0.90 
      (5.84-11.23), 4.86 (2.93-6.79), and 1.45 (0.30-2.60), respectively. TOA-NDT group 
      showed improvement in all the outcomes. CONCLUSION: TOA-NDT principles are more 
      beneficial in improving the trunk control, balance, and gross motor function 
      parameters than CPT.
