Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Timed up and go - in children

The tool to assess functional mobility in pediatric population. This is a timed measure during which the child has to stand up from a chair, walk 3 m, turn around, walk back, and sit down. Higher timed measure mean worse outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Timed up and go - in children at after intervention 3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Pediatric Balance Scale

A modified version of the Berg Balance Scale from 0-56. That is used to assess functional balance skills in children. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Pediatric Balance Scale at after intervention 3 weeks

Gross Motor Function Measure

The tool to evaluate gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The score from 0-186. Higher scores mean better outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measure at after intervention 3 weeks

Gait Velocity

Gait speed used by 10 meter test recorded in Kilometer per hour. Higher timed measure mean better outcome.

Time frame: Change from baseline Gait Velocity at after intervention 3 weeks
