| Balance it will be assist by HUMAC Balance Assessment system | 6 month | Evaluation materials that used in assist balance : HUMAC Balance Assessment system consists of: 1- The force platform 2- The HUMAC CD holding the operating program This test will be use assess the sensory integration of balance and postural control in the conditions of eyes open and eyes closed from standing, lasts for 30 second and the test was repeated for three times and the mean value is calculated from the result of each trial which appears in the form of percent of stability in each trial |
| Walking ability | 6 month | Evaluation materials Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) it is a valid and reliable instrumentation using to asses walking capacity The child of this test is to walk as far as possible for 6 minutes. You will walk back and forth in this hallway, after the test, measured walking capacity exercise (BP, HR and SpO2) were re-measured. |
