Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Pediatric balance scale (PBS)
It was developed as a balance measure for children. The PBS measure can be performed without specialized equipment and is quickly and easily administered. The PBS has been used to measure the functional balance skills for school-age children with mild-to-moderate motor impairments. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points. These items include moving from a seated to a standing position, moving from a standing position to a sitting position, transfer, standing without support, sitting without support, standing with eyes closed, standing with feet together, standing with one foot in front of the other, standing on one foot, rotating 360 degrees, turning to look back, picking up an object off the floor, placing alternate foot on step or footrest, and reaching forward with an extended arm.
Gross motor functional measure (GMFM)
It is a standardized observational instrument designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with cerebral palsy. It has 88 items to explore motor ability in five dimensions; lying and rolling, sitting, crawling and kneeling, standing, and walking, running and jumping
Timed up and go (TUG)
It is a simple evaluative test used to measure functional mobility and show how safely a patient can move around. The test requires a subject to stand up, walk 3 m (10 ft), turn, walk back, and sit down while timing.
Obstacle Test
It is a timed walking test. Time is calculated while the child is walking stepping over two obstacles and walking around a basket. The pathway is 8.5 meter and the start and end lines are marked. Time is calculating as the child walking between the lines and accomplishing the obstacles. Hight of the obstacle is 15% of the child leg length, while the width is 10%. The basket was around 56 centimeters in width and 69.5 centimeters in length. The child should stand behind the start line and walk in a straight line then step over the obstacles, walk around one side of the basket then pass the end line.
Secondary Outcome Measures
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)
It is a brief measure of health-related quality of life in children and young people. The measure is either Proxy Report or Self-Report. It has 23 items comprise four Generic Core Scales: physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning.
One min sit to stand test (1-MSTST)
The 1-MSTST typically involves an armless chair and the performance of as many sit-to-stand actions as possible in 1 min without using the upper limbs
