Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Selective voluntary motor control of upper extremity	Test of Arm Selective Control will be used to assess selective voluntary motor control of upper extremityIt was developed to quantify the extent to which children with cerebral palsy have selective voluntary motor control. It will be used to assess movement of shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, finger and thumb by using simple tools for grasp items from two starting sitting positions	6 weeks
Secondary	Hand grip strength	it will be assessed by hand held dynamometer	6 weeks
Secondary	- Upper limb function	it will be assessed by Bruinink-Oseretsky test for motor proficiency subset 7 of upper limb coordination	6 weeks
