结局指标
主要结局
Canadian Occupation Performance Measure (COPM)
时间窗: 3 weeks
It is a client-centred outcome measure that helps the client to identify occupational performance issues and rates performance and satisfaction pre and post-intervention. Total scores are calculated by adding together the performance or satisfaction scores for all problems and dividing them by the number of problems. At reassessment, the client scores each problem again for performance and satisfaction.
Smartphone app for gait and Balance Assessment
时间窗: 3 weeks
This embedded inertial sensor-based smartphone application can provide a valid and reliable estimation of several gaits and balance parameters. The smartphone app for gait and balance assessment will be used on the subject who can walk independently.
Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS)
时间窗: 3 weeks
TCMS is an extended version of the trunk impairment scale with a total score of 58, which assesses the quality of static and dynamic trunk control. The maximum value for the total TCMS is 58 points (20 for the category 'static sitting balance', 28 for 'selective movement control', and 10 for 'dynamic reaching'). A higher TCMS score indicates better performance in trunk control.
Cerebral Palsy Quality Of Life scale (CP-QOL)
时间窗: 3 weeks
The CP-QOL-child is a condition-specific QOL questionnaire designed for children with CP. QOL is broadly defined as a subjective multidimensional concept for assessing a person's wellbeing across numerous life indicators. The greater the score, the better is the quality of life.
Gross Motor Function Measure
时间窗: 3 weeks
The gross motor function measure is a standard instrument that measures the change in motor function with time in Cerebral palsy subjects. It assesses the number of motor tasks a child can perform. A scoring key of 0 - does not initiate, 1 - initiates, 2 - partially completes, and 3 - completed, is used. the higher score, the greater is Gross motor function.
Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function (MUUL)
时间窗: 3 weeks
Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function (MUUL) is considered as one of the reliable tools to measure upper limb function. It consists of 16-items to measure the quality of unilateral upper limb function. Scoring is completed across the 30 score items using a three, four or five-point scale and individually defined scoring criteria. Item scores relating to each element of movement measured are summed within the corresponding sub-scale.
