What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Video-Based Visual Feedback + Task-Oriented PhysiotherapyOther
Participants in the experimental group will receive video-based visual feedback combined with task-oriented physiotherapy for a period of 6 weeks. The intervention will be administered three times per week, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes
Conventional PhysiotherapyOther
Participants in the control group will receive conventional physiotherapy for a duration of 6 weeks. The treatment will be administered three times per week, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes

| Conventional Physiotherapy | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Other: Conventional Physiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Gross Motor Function Measure
A standardized tool used to assess gross motor abilities in children with cerebral palsy. It measures activities such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better motor function
Measured: 6 weeks
Pediatric Balance Scale
A balance assessment tool designed for children. It evaluates a child's ability to maintain balance during everyday activities such as standing, reaching, turning, and stepping. The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) has a maximum total score of 56 points (14 items × 4 points each). Higher scores indicate better balance performance.
Measured: 6 weeks
Observational Gait Scale (OGS)
A simple observational tool used to assess walking patterns in children with cerebral palsy. It evaluates different aspects of gait, such as foot placement, knee movement, and overall walking quality. The Observational Gait Scale (OGS) has a maximum total score of 22 points (6 items scored from 0-3 and 1 item scored from 0-4). Higher scores indicate a more normal gait pattern.
Measured: 6 weeks

Observational Gait Scale (OGS)
Time frame: 6 weeks
A simple observational tool used to assess walking patterns in children with cerebral palsy. It evaluates different aspects of gait, such as foot placement, knee movement, and overall walking quality.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Gross Motor Function Measure (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
