Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Timed up and go - in children	The tool to assess functional mobility in pediatric population. This is a timed measure during which the child has to stand up from a chair, walk 3 m, turn around, walk back, and sit down. Higher timed measure mean worse outcome.	Change from baseline Timed up and go - in children at after intervention 3 weeks
Secondary	Pediatric Balance Scale	A modified version of the Berg Balance Scale from 0-56. That is used to assess functional balance skills in children. Higher scores mean better outcome.	Change from baseline Pediatric Balance Scale at after intervention 3 weeks
Secondary	Gross Motor Function Measure	The tool to evaluate gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. The score from 0-186. Higher scores mean better outcome.	Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measure at after intervention 3 weeks
Secondary	Gait Velocity	Gait speed used by 10 meter test recorded in Kilometer per hour. Higher timed measure mean better outcome.	Change from baseline Gait Velocity at after intervention 3 weeks
