In this quasi-randomized controlled study, 48 children with spastic bilateral CP (age 5–12 years, GMFCS Levels I-IV, MACS Levels I-IV) were assigned to an experimental or control group in order they have been enrolled. The experimental group underwent INRS treatment in the tertiary care facility for about four hours daily for ten days and continued routine home treatment for four weeks. After the first evaluation, participants from the control group stayed on the waiting list for four weeks receiving home treatment and then starting the INRS treatment. Thereby, all participants were assessed three times. The primary outcome measure was a Gross Motor Function Measure 66 Item Set (GMFM). The secondary outcome measures included the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function test, Box and Blocks test, ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire, Self-care and Mobility domain of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, and the ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion.
