About this trial

Motor function delays are observed in pygopagus conjoined twins due to limited movement experience and deficits in proprioceptive sense. This study aimed to evaluate the neuromotor development of conjoined twins who acquired independent bodies, lives, and movements as a result of separation surgery, and to examine the effect of postoperative physiotherapy intervention on gross motor function.
