What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gross Motor Function Measure
Time Frame: 6 weeks

A standardized tool used to assess gross motor abilities in children with cerebral palsy. It measures activities such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better motor function
6 weeks
Pediatric Balance Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks

A balance assessment tool designed for children. It evaluates a child's ability to maintain balance during everyday activities such as standing, reaching, turning, and stepping. The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) has a maximum total score of 56 points (14 items × 4 points each). Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
6 weeks
Observational Gait Scale (OGS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks

A simple observational tool used to assess walking patterns in children with cerebral palsy. It evaluates different aspects of gait, such as foot placement, knee movement, and overall walking quality. The Observational Gait Scale (OGS) has a maximum total score of 22 points (6 items scored from 0-3 and 1 item scored from 0-4). Higher scores indicate a more normal gait pattern.
6 weeks
