Primary

Measure	Time frame
Quality of life and motor skills.Quality of life is assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Motor skills are tested by testing hand grip strength, the sit-to-stand test (1 min), as well as individual tests from the Dordel-Koch test battery (one-leg stand, jumping sideways back and forth, standing long jump).
