Inclusion criteria

* Patients with cerebral palsy at 7-15 years old with Gross motor function classification system 1-3. * Patients can understand and follow to command.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Timed up and go - in children	Change from baseline Timed up and go - in children at after intervention 3 weeks	The tool to assess functional mobility in pediatric population. This is a timed measure during which the child has to stand up from a chair, walk 3 m, turn around, walk back, and sit down. Higher timed measure mean worse outcome.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Pediatric Balance Scale	Change from baseline Pediatric Balance Scale at after intervention 3 weeks	A modified version of the Berg Balance Scale from 0-56. That is used to assess functional balance skills in children. Higher scores mean better outcome.
Gross Motor Function Measure	Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measure at after intervention 3 weeks	The tool to evaluate gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The score from 0-186. Higher scores mean better outcome.
Gait Velocity	Change from baseline Gait Velocity at after intervention 3 weeks	Gait speed used by 10 meter test recorded in Kilometer per hour. Higher timed measure mean better outcome.
