Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Two dimensional gait analysis
Two-dimensional (2D) video analysis may provide an accessible and affordable means of quantifying postural control deficits that can be implemented across a spectrum of care settings. Angular joint measures during weight lifting obtained using 2D motion analysis software have been shown to be highly correlated to goniometric measures . This system has also been shown to be reliable in quantifying range of motion during reaching and walking/running tasks

Dynamic gait index
The Dynamic Gait Index is a sensitive and efficient tool for adults and therefore may be a useful tool for children. Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) is a performance-based tool that quantifiesthe dynamic balance instability developed by Shumway-Cook and Woollacott, evaluates the ability of the individual to modify gait in response to changing functions during walking

Study Arms (1)
Study group
EXPERIMENTALThey will receive the same traditional physical therapy exercise program in addition to gait training on spring gravity bar for one hour
Interventions
1. contain two wooden board length (160 cm) and width (15 cm) 2. contain pair of spring at every end of board 3. two wooden board connect in the middle
