Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
concentration as a cognitive function
ability of child to pay attention during physical therapy sessions and be interactive with the therapist, measured by Moss Attention Rating Scale, score of 22 (minimum score) to less than 110 (maximum score), Higher scores indicate better attention.
