Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The Pediatric Balance Scale evaluates balance in school-aged children through 14 tasks scored 0 4, with a maximum of 56 points. The Single-Leg Stance (SLS) test measures static balance by timing participants standing on one leg with arms crossed and eyes forward. Trials stop if balance is lost or eyes open during eyes-closed tests. SLS is assessed in both eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions.Timepoint: 4 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The 10MWT is commonly used to evaluate gait velocity. Patients walked 10 m, and the walking speed was calculated using the middle 6 m, excluding the first and last 2 m. Patients instructed to walk at a comfortable speed. The test will be performed twice in each condition, and the average value will be used for the analysis. The TUG test is a reliable and valid tool for measuring functional mobility. The subjects stand up from a chair with an armrest, walk about 3 m, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The time taken to perform this process is measured.Timepoint: Assessment on the 0 day, followed by 4 weeks follow up.
