Stem Cell Transplantation In-patient With Neurological Sequelae Due to Encephalitis or Meningitis

Change in Total Score of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88)

The Gross Motor Function Measure - 88 items (GMFM-88) is a standardized observational tool used to evaluate changes in gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. The total score ranges from 0 to 264, with higher scores representing better gross motor function

Time frame: Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after transplantation

Change in Muscle Tone Assessed by Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a clinical tool used to measure muscle tone and the degree of spasticity in patients with neurological conditions. The scale ranges from 0 to 4, with an additional 1+ category. Scores are interpreted as follows: 0 indicates no increase in muscle tone, 1 indicates a slight increase in muscle tone with a catch and release, 1+ indicates a slight increase with minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2 indicates a more marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion, 3 indicates considerable increase in muscle tone making passive movement difficult, and 4 indicates that the affected part(s) are rigid in flexion or extension. Lower scores represent better outcomes (normal muscle tone), while higher scores represent worse outcomes

Time frame: Baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after transplantation
