Primary outcomes

  1. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for quality of life

    Time frame: 8th week

    The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Measurement Model was created as a modular approach to measuring pediatric Health Related Quality of Life, integrating the relative benefits of generic and disease-specific approaches.

  2. Gross motor function measure for functional level

    Time frame: 8th week

    Children with cerebral palsy can have their gross motor function measured by rehabilitation specialists using the Gross Motor Function Measure.

    The scoring system of the GMFM is a four-point scale that consists of 66 items divided into five dimensions of gross motor function:(a) lying and rolling, (b) sitting, (c) crawling and kneeling, (d) standing, and (e) walking, running and jumping

  3. Pediatric balance scale to measure balance

    Time frame: 8th week

    It is developed as a balance measure for children. the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) is a variation of the Berg Balance scale. Administering the PBS measure is quick and simple, and it doesn't require any additional equipment. Balance functions in school-age children with mild-to-moderate motor impairments and children with cerebral palsy have been assessed using the PBS. The activities vary from standing on one leg to timed seated balance.

    Scoring of the PBS ranges from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) for each item. The maximum total score is 56 points
