Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in Quality of Movement

    GMPM (Gross Motor Performance Measure) as a standardized measurement tool for assessing quality of movement regarding 3 properties of 5 ones: alignment, coordination, dissociated movement, stability, and weight shift. The interrater reliability of GMPM subscores and total scores was 0.758-0.886 (subject n=75, tester n=10).

    Baseline - 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes in Gross Motor Function

    Baseline - 2 months

  • Changes in Neurodevelopmental Outcomes

    Baseline - 2 months

  • Changes in Motor Development

    Baseline - 2 months

  • Changes in Spasticity

    Baseline - 2 months
