Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (c) surgical amputation of legs

Explanation: Scissoring gait is one WAY cerebral palsy is expressed. In this gait, the child does not walk straight but criss-crosses the leg i.e. putting the right leg in front of the left leg while walking. To correct this, an obstruction between the legs is given LIKE tying pillows or balls or making the child walk with a low wall in between. With this, the brain is slowly trained to walk straight.
