结局指标
主要结局
Knee range of motion
时间窗: 12 weeks
Each child in both groups had their knee joint\'s extension angle measured before and after a 12-week therapy program began using an absolute + AxisTM Digital Goniometer
Fascicle length of hamstring muscle
时间窗: 12 weeks
The biceps femoris muscle\'s muscle fascicle length was measured at a frequency of 7.5 MHz using GE LOGIQ P6 ultrasonography equipment
gross motor function
时间窗: 12 weeks
Gross Motor Functional Measurement-88 : is a common principle-test designed to assess changes in function in various milestones for children with cerebral palsy 0 = does not initiate 1. = initiates 2. = partially completes 3. = completes
