He was malnourished, had malaligned teeth with frequent drooling of saliva.

He used to attain hyperextension posture at the level of neck and whole spine use to go in to complete arching position with any external touch on his body and with any loud noise in the surroundings.

He had marked asymmetrical spasticity, in all the extremities (left arm least affected), truncal dystonia at rest that increased with action.

His chest had pigeon shaped deformity, due to which many cardio respiratory complications developed.

Pretreatment and post treatment childs evaluation was done using GMFCS at baseline and after 9 months of therapy.
