Background
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, a neurological condition which affects the central nervous system and causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures.

The goal of physical therapy is to maximize their functional level, self confidence, doing the daily routine, participate in playing games with their peers, increase the range of motion and strength, increase concentration and attention.
