Effects of Hydrotherapy in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Patients in the study group will undergo individualized water-based exercises (including standing, balance, weight shifting, breathing exercises, range of motion, stretching, and strengthening exercises) under the supervision of an experienced physiotherapist, 2-3 times per week for six weeks. Additionally, routine conventional exercises will be continued daily for six weeks.

Patients in the control group will continue passive, active, active-assisted, or resistance-based upper and lower extremity conventional exercises appropriate to their functional level and muscle strength. They will be instructed to perform these exercises 2-3 times per week, with each session lasting no more than 45 minutes, for six weeks.
