Physical therapy intervention along with nutritional rehabilitation has recently become an inevitable combo after recent evidences suggest-ing a strong interaction between malnutrition and neuro-muscular dis-abilities which contribute to a significant burden in global settings. Re-cent studies confirm that appropriate physical assessment of neu-ro-musculo skeletal system, developmental assessment or cognitive tools along with nutritional assessments followed by exercise rehabili-tation will yield positive results in children with malnutrition. There is an obvious need to make available a simple physical therapy exercise guidelines with simple measure and exercise to be used in resource limited settings of developing countries. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to summarize simple assessment tools to evaluate activ-ity impairment, participation restriction, gross motor activity and simple physical therapy intervention program for children with disability sec-ondary to malnutrition.
