Brief Summary

Children with cerebral palsy often suffer from a lack of balance compared with typically developing children. Because balance capacity is relevant to functional activities, reliable and valid functional balance measures are crucial for the pediatric clinical setting in local native languages, so the aim of this study is to translate the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) into Urdu and to find the reliability and validity of the translated version Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) in cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

Pediatric Balance scale; Cerebral palsy; Urdu version

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pediatric balance scale

  The Pediatric Balance Scale is a modified version of the Berg Balance Scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points

  up to 24 weeks

Interventions

Tool Translation OTHER

Data Collection procedure will be done in two phases. The first phase will revolve around the translation of the instrument. Firstly the tool will be translated into Urdu with help of two professional translators and then it will be back translated into English to cross check the clarity of text. The translation will focus more on the context and understanding of the text rather literal word-to-word meanings. The translation will be done according to the WHO guidelines
