Abstract	Background: Cerebral Palsy is a group of permanent, but not unchanging, disorders of movement, posture and of motor function, which are due to a non-progressive lesion, or abnormality of the developing brain. The term “cerebral” refers to the two halves or hemispheres of the brain and “palsy” refers to loss or impairment of motor function. Materials and Methods: 20 children, aged 2-14 years, both males and females, diagnosed with spastic diplegic CP were included in the study. All children were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM – 88) scale for rolling, sitting, crawling, standing and walking dimensions and for spasticity with Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before starting the treatment. Children were randomly divided into two groups: Group E (n=10) and Group C (n=10). Group E received conventional physiotherapy along with Neurodevelopmental Therapy and Group C received Conventional Physiotherapy alone. The duration of treatment was 16 weeks with 4 days/week. All the subjects were re-assessed for GMFM-88 Scale and MAS at the end of 8th week of treatment and at the end of 16th week of treatment. Result: The result showed that there was a significant improvement (p<0.05) in GMFM-88 Scale and MAS scores in both Group E and Group C after 16 weeks of treatment. But when both Groups were compared, Group E show significant (p<0.05) improvement as compared to Group C. Conclusion: This study showed significantly positive effect of NDT along with conventional physiotherapy on gross motor function and Spasticity in spastic diplegic CP children.
