Both the groups shown improvement after intervention. Inter-group comparison done using 'independent t test' reveals statistically significant progress in experimental group (GMFM (P=0.001), Stride length (P=<0.001) and step length (P=<0.001), and cadence compared to Group B. The author who is concluded that the results of this study indicate that functional resistance training is better than conventional symptoms based treatment approach to develop ambulatory skills of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
