Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	cognitive functions	short-term memory(visual memory test, memorize the squares,number of correct choices), Information processing speed (space bar presses in response to non-target stimulus to be impulsive behavior. number of errors), Focusing and Perception (space bar presses in response to a target stimulus.The difference between the number of target stimuli that appeared in the test and the number of correct responses gives the number of omission errors. )	3 months
Secondary	motor functions	balance (walking forward a line, number of steps), coordination(jumping in place-same sides synchronized-number of correct form) , manual dexterity(transferring pennies-number of 15 sec.), gross motor skills and upper-limb coordination (dribling a ball-alternating hands-number of dribbles)	3 months
