Strong evidence is lacking for physical therapy interventions to improve sitting ability in young children with/at risk for cerebral palsy (CP). Kinesio-taping may be an effective adjunct to conventional physical therapy in improving sitting ability in children with spastic bilateral CP. Task-specific, intensive, and child-initiated intervention components show promise for improving sitting in young infants at risk for CP.
