Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Total Gross Motor Function Meassura score (GMFM) which evaluates the motor function of children through numbers. The data will be collected every three months, confirming the improvement when there is an increase of at least 4% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: Increased range of motion of the joints of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle. Data will be collected every three months through goniometry, being considered this contact when there was a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements;Expected outcome 3: Changes in the classification of muscle tone from the modified Ashworth scale. This finding was considered when there were changes in the score of at least one point. | — |
