Treatments tested in this trial

  • -Seated Postural Control Measure

    Other intervention

    -The Seated Postural Control Measure will be used to assess postural control. This measurement evaluates both postural abnormalities and determines the effect of sitting on postural control. The highest possible score on the scale is 88 points for upright sitting posture (USP) and 48 points for upper extremity functionality (UEF). A high score on the test represents good postural control.

  • -Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test (two sub-items) for balance

    Other intervention

    -Balance will be assessed using two sub-items from the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Competency Test. The first test assesses standing on a balance beam with the dominant foot (eyes open), and the second test assesses standing in a "toe-heel contact" position on the balance beam. The time the child spends standing is recorded in seconds. A longer duration indicates better balance.

  • -Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTEFT) and 9-Hole Peg Test to assess hand function

    Other intervention

    -The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) assesses card flipping, picking up small objects, inserting chips, and eating. In the 9-hole peg test, children are asked to place nine pegs one by one into holes on a platform and then remove them. The time elapsed is recorded in seconds. Longer times indicate poor fine motor skills.

Standing time on the balance board with the dominant foot (Eyes open)

This test is a sub-item included in the short form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test. This test is based on the time it takes to perform the required motor skill in the required manner. The child attempts to stand on a balance beam with their dominant foot, while keeping the other foot in a flexed position parallel to the ground. The child looks at a point 7 feet (2.14 m) away and at eye level, and tries to maintain their balance for 10 seconds. The time they can hold the balance is recorded.
