Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Visual light tracking program
Other: Visual Light Tracking
visual light tracking program consists of 10 tasks every task lasts for 6 minutes and may be repeated for the child especially in the first sessions to give him trials to him/her to understand the exercise.
Experimental: Selective physical therapy program
Other: Visual Light Tracking
visual light tracking program consists of 10 tasks every task lasts for 6 minutes and may be repeated for the child especially in the first sessions to give him trials to him/her to understand the exercise.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of Visual light tracking intervention on quality of walking, selective motor control and sensory processing of the study group compared to control group with different intervention.
Time Frame: Baseline

The quality of walking as step length will be assessed using Kinovea software. Selective motor control will be assessed using Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (points).

Sensory processing will be assessed using the Sensory Profile Caregiver Questionnaire(points).
