AB  - PURPOSE: To determine the optimal frequency of physical therapy (PT) in young 
      children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: Twenty-three children (mean age, 
      47.30 +/- 31.95 months) with CP who had undergone both low- and high-frequency PT 
      in an outpatient rehabilitation clinic were analyzed retrospectively. The Gross 
      Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) score was assessed before and after low- and 
      high-frequency PT. RESULTS: The high-frequency PT group showed statistically 
      significant improvements of GMFM-88 compared to the low-frequency PT group. In 
      the high-frequency PT group, the improvement in total GMFM-88 scores was greater 
      in children below 36 months of age than in children above 36 months of age. 
      Moreover, the ambulatory group showed greater improvement compared to the 
      non-ambulatory group during high-frequency PT. CONCLUSIONS: High-frequency PT 
      might benefit gross motor function in children with CP up to 36 months of age. 
      High-frequency PT resulted in improved standing and gait function in the 
      ambulatory group.
