Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Balance. Timepoint: Immediately before the intervention begins and immediately after the intervention ends. Method of measurement: Dynamic balance (TUG), static balance (modified Romberg), functional balance (PBS). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gait. Timepoint: Immediately before the intervention begins and immediately after the intervention ends. Method of measurement: Using 2D video analysis in Kinovea software (while walking).;Gross Motor Function. Timepoint: Immediately before the intervention begins and immediately after the intervention ends. Method of measurement: Using the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) test, two of the five motor domains of this test (D to E) are measured.;Brain activation pattern. Timepoint: Measurement of outcome variables is carried out in two time phases: 1- Before the start of the intervention (pre-test) 2- After the end of the intervention (post-test). Method of measurement: Using electroencephalography (EEG).;Quality of life. Timepoint: Immediately before the intervention begins and immediately after the intervention ends. Method of measurement: Persian-translated CP QOL-Child Quality of Life Questionnaire (based on age, either the patient or the patient's parents fill it out) Two questionnaire models based on age range.;Fall Risk. Timepoint: Immediately before the intervention begins and immediately after the intervention ends. Method of measurement: Fall risk using the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) test. | — |
