Abstract
Cerebral palsy can be defined as disorder of movement and posture caused by lesion in immature brain. Brain lesion leads to abnormal sensory motor development along with visual, cognitive and hearing impairments. Motor control in normal individual is developed as body come under the influence of higher centers. Universal exercise unit, spider web, therasuit, functional training and repetitions of body transitions are used in these protocols. Therapy sessions are extended from three to four hours. It can be used with children and adults with different neurological conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury and spina bifida. Spider cage is made of metal with equal length, width and height, size of cage can be different depending upon type of population pediatric or adults. Cage consists of elastic cords and belts, which are used to support the patients in the cage. Different activities of functional training can be practice in this cage easily. Elastic resistance of cords can be used to strengthen the weak muscles. Initiation of a particular posture can be easily trained in this cage. Therapies and techniques are discovered over the time to treat patients with cerebral palsy. Although use of universal exercise unit in rehabilitation is not new, however in cerebral palsy it can be used with new concept. Scientific research literature is limited on its effectiveness.

Summary
Cerebral palsy can be defined as disorder of movement and posture caused by lesion in immature brain [1]. Brain injury can occur in fetal life or during the first year of life by hypoxia, asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, traumatic brain infections and prematurity [2]. Exact cause of cerebral palsy is still unknown; brain damage can occur before birth, during the birth and after the birth. Prematurity, neonatal infections and traumatic brain injury are some important causes in cerebral palsy [5]. Cerebral palsy has different types like spastic, athetoid, ataxic, hypotonic and some tome mixed type [6]. Cage consists of elastic cords and belts, which are used to support the patients in the cage. Different activities of functional training can be practice in this cage . Initiation of a particular posture can be trained in this cage
