This is a follow up case report of male child with West Syndrome, brought to Physiotherapy department at the age of 1 year with a chief complaint of unable to transit to sitting, standing and walking. He had poor ability to focus and orient to environment and poor somatosensory, kinesthetic, and proprioceptive awareness throughout his body. Parents also complained that he becomes aggressive and irritated on moving surfaces. Treatment strategies were targeted towards specific impairments of the sensory, neuromuscular, and musculoskeletal systems to improve his gross motor abilities. At the early age of 1 year the score of GMFM was 3.98% and GMFCS level was V. At the age of 5 years there was increase in score of GMFM with 84.07% and GMFCS changed to level II indicating level of independence is also improved. This suggest that participation of a child with West Syndrome can be improved with combine sensory motor approach.
