Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gross Motor Functional Scale
Time Frame: 6weeks
Changes from baseline The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is an observational clinical tool designed to evaluate change in gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.Greater score means higher functional level
Trunk Control Measurement Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Changes from Baseline The TCMS scale assesses seated trunk control in three dimensions. The maximum score is 58 points where 20 points correspond to static balance, 28 to selective movement control, and 10 to the ability to perform dynamic reaching
Pediatric Balance Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Changes from Baseline Pediatric Balance Scale is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points
