Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Sociodemographic Data	Sociodemographic information included gender, age, height, and weight of the children and their fathers. In addition, clinical information about the children, such as duration of physical therapy and type of disability, was recorded.	20week
Primary	Satisfaction with Life	Life satisfaction level was assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The scale has a total of 5 items. Participants are asked to rate each item from 1 to 7. The scores obtained from each item can range from 1 to 7, and the total score can range from 1 to 35. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the life satisfaction.	20week
Primary	Gross Motor Function	The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to assess the level of gross motor function in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). GMFCS is a system that classifies the gross motor function levels of children with CP in the same age groups from 1 to 5. Level 1 represents the highest level of function and level 5 represents the lowest level. A higher level represents a lower level of function.	20week
