Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
The lower limbs Global Profile Score during gait	All the data collection and analysis wil be done within 2 months from the start point of the study.	Data will be collected from gait analysis of unilateral CP children and the Global Profile Score, characterizing the overall kinematics of the pelvis and lower limbs, during gait, will be compared those of a typical developed children group matched in walking experience. Mann Whitney U test will be used for this comparison.
