Brief Summary

1. 1.To find out the relation between the severity of ADL limitation in diplegic CP children and the level of parents' stress.
2. 2.To detect the correlation between the PS level to the different domains of ADL limitation.
3. 3.To determine the substantial factors that underlying the parents' stress of those diplegic CP children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Assessing the change in parent stress

  It will be assessed by using the approved Arabic version of the Parent stress index. The parent will be asked to read each statement carefully and focus on each statement and circle the one that best suites his psychological state concerning his child. Parents should respond by circling SA (strongly agree), A (agree), NS (not sure), D (disagree), SD (strongly disagree). They should circle only one response per item, and make an "X" through the response if it needs to be changed. Parents must not erase any answers. Parent must be Encouraged to answer all the items.

  Baseline only

• Assessing the change in children's quality of life

  It will be assessed by The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) Family Impact Module version 2 It is composed of parent proxy-report forms obtainable in numerous international languages including Arabic. The Arabic version of the PedsQL™ Family Impact Module version 2.0 is a parent report instrument designed to assess the impact of pediatric chronic health conditions on parents and the family .It consists of 36 items comprising 8 dimensions. It includes 6 subscales measuring parents' self-reported functioning: Physical Functioning (6 items), Emotional Functioning (5items), Social Functioning (4 items), Cognitive Functioning (5 items), Communication (3 items) and Worry (5 items); as well as 2 subscales measuring parent- reported family functioning: Daily Activities (3 items) and Family Relationships (5 items)

  Baseline only

• Assessing the change in children's activities of daily living

  It will be carried out by using self-care domain (eating, grooming, bathing, dressing upper and lower body and toileting), transfer and locomotion domains of the WeeFIM. Assessment should be performed by direct observing the child. However, when direct observation is not possible, interviewing parents who are familiar with the child's everyday activities is crucial

  Baseline only

Study Arms (1)

Cerebral palsy children

Sample size estimation was carried out to determine the recruited number of the diplegic CP children from the outpatient clinic at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Physical Therapy Department at the National Institute of Neuromotor Disorder, Abu El-Reesh Hospital, and private physiotherapy clinics. The age of patients will range from 18 months to 5 years old. Both sexes will participate in this study
