Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Patients with cerebral palsy at 7-15 years old with Gross motor function classification system 1-
•Patients can understand and follow to command.

Exclusion Criteria

•Patients who received surgery/chemo-denervation injection/injury at spine/pelvic/lower extremities in last 6 months.
•Patients with intrathecal baclofen pump implantation.
•Patients with other signs and/or symptoms of neurological deficit that effect ability to ambulation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Timed up and go - in children

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

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.

Secondary Outcomes

Pediatric Balance Scale(Change from baseline Pediatric Balance Scale at after intervention 3 weeks)
Gross Motor Function Measure(Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measure at after intervention 3 weeks)
Gait Velocity(Change from baseline Gait Velocity at after intervention 3 weeks)
