Detailed Description
Ethical statement this study was approved by institutional Review Board of the faculty of physical therapy ,cairo university .Egypt (no.P.T.REC/012/004237) .
Study Design A prospective randomized controlled trial of pre-post study design with two months follow-up evaluation will be used.
Sample size estimation
will be conducted to determine the number of recruited children. G*POWER statistical software (version 3.1.9.2) will be used using α=0.05, power 80% allocation ratio N2/N1 =1.
Randomization The selected children will be assigned by simple randomization via closed envelopes into two equal groups (control and study); the envelope will be contained a letter indicating whether the child will be assigned to the control or to the study group.

rang of motion
Time Frame: period of treatment will be 2 succssive months

The IMU sensors will be used to detect changes in angular displacement of child arm, forearm (which allow 3D analysis of movements in three planes X.Y.Z), speed and direction. Placement of Sensors: Two sensors will be placed on the affected side, one around the arm distal to shoulder joint and the other around the forearm distal to elbow joint. The third sensor will be placed around the trunk. The child will be in standing position with head in neutral position, trunk erect. The examiner will ask the child to perform functional task in form of (reaching forward toward targets placed on wall in multilevel, hand over head). |

will be administrated on an interview basis, the child will be asked to estimate their perception of the level of difficulty that faces during the performance of each activity in the list on a three-point ordinal scale of impossible, difficult, easy.
Activities will be presented in random order to avoid any systematic effect.
Activities not attempted in the last 3 months are not scored and are entered as missing responses (tick the question mark).
