Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Data were analyzed after the application of the 12-week protocol in the GI, comparing it with the GC that did not receive any type of motor therapy in this period. The expected outcomes were: Observed improvement of weight transfer to the affected body and trunk symmetry through the following instruments: Trunk Impairment Scale, Pediatric Berg Balance Scale, Seated Posture Pressure Mapping Sensor, and Discharge Force Platform Of weight in MMSS.;Regarding the outcomes: GI showed improvement of the intragroup mean in the Trunk Impairment Scale (p <0.00) and Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (p <0.01), the other instruments and the mean intergroups did not differ significantly. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Data were analyzed after the application of the 12-week protocol in the GI, comparing it with the GC that did not receive any type of motor therapy in this period. Outcomes secondary to protocol application were analyzed for changes in gait speed and gait quality through the 6-minute walk tests, 10-meter walk test, Timed up and Go and Edinburgh Visual Gait Scale.;Regarding secondary outcomes: GI showed intragroup improvement in the 6-minute walk test (p <0.01) and Timed up and Go (p <0.01). The other instruments and the mean intergroups did not differ significantly. | — |
