Visual Light Tracking
Brief summary
The study aims to investigate the effect of visual light tracking on gait, selective motor control and sensory processing in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Interventions
OTHERVisual Light Tracking
visual light tracking program consists of 10 tasks every task lasts for 6 minutes and may be repeated for the child especially in the first sessions to give him trials to him/her to understand the exercise.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Effect of Visual light tracking intervention on quality of walking, selective motor control and sensory processing of the study group compared to control group with different intervention. | Baseline | The quality of walking as step length will be assessed using Kinovea software. Selective motor control will be assessed using Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (points). Sensory processing will be assessed using the Sensory Profile Caregiver Questionnaire(points). |
