Effects of Conventional Physical Therapy With and Without Cuevas Medek Exercises in Developmental Delay

There are several etiologies for developmental delay (DD). One of the main causes of developmental delay is cerebral palsy (CP), which has a variety of clinical characteristics brought on by damage to the developing brain. Children with developmental delays frequently have difficulties with feeling, perception, cognition, communication, musculoskeletal disorders, and movement and posture. A child's developmental delay could be avoided and motor milestones could be reached with the help of a CME-based intervention. In order to lessen or prevent developmental motor delay, CME-based intervention may be taken into consideration as a research issue and as an option for either intensive or conventional therapy. A randomized control trial will be used for this. The Sehat Medical Complex in Lahore's physiotherapy department would be the source of the data collection. This study includes children of any gender between the ages of 12 and 42 months. Babies with motor developmental delays are diagnosed and their treatment plans are developed using the Bayley Scales of Infants and Toddlers IV (BSID-4). Conventional physical treatment, including dynamic/static stretches, functional exercises, passive mobilizations, balance modulation, and gait training, was administered to group A. At baseline, the functional state of both groups will be evaluated. Treatment sessions will run for a total of 12 weeks, five days a week, for 45 minutes each. They will consist of four to six repeated exercises, six times on average, and will continue to use BSID-4 after the study is finished. Group B includes Cuevas Medak exercises like transition and head and trunk control (by stabilizing limb) and sitting-to-standing transition are recommended. For a duration of 12 weeks, five days a week, and 45 minutes, each session will be held. At baseline, the functional state of both groups will be evaluated. then once the sessions are over, more data will be gathered using BSID-4. This research will help de
