Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction in spasticity, as measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale.Timepoint: Time Frame: Baseline Day 0, day 45 and Day 60. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement in joint range of motion (elbow, wrist, knee, ankle), measured using a digital goniometer. Improvement in gross motor function, assessed by the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Improvement in gait parameters and functional motor performance, evaluated using 3D gait analysis (if feasible). Reduction in medial gastrocnemius stiffness, assessed via sono-elastography (if feasible). Improvement in postural stability, measured using the BTracks balance assessment system, thereby validating its clinical utility in rehabilitation monitoring. Significant improvement in the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy as assessed by the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life (CP QOL) scale. Timepoint: day zero, Day 45 and Day 60 | — |
