Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Timed up and go - in children	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pediatric Balance Scale	Change from baseline Pediatric Balance Scale at after intervention 3 weeks	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.
Gross Motor Function Measure	Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measure at after intervention 3 weeks	The tool to evaluate gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The score from 0-186. Higher scores mean better outcome.
Gait Velocity	Change from baseline Gait Velocity at after intervention 3 weeks	Gait speed used by 10 meter test recorded in Kilometer per hour. Higher timed measure mean better outcome.
