To compare the effects of task specific balance training vs task-oriented basketball training on balance and motor skills in children with developmental delay
Children aged 5-12
Diagnosed with DD
Able to follow instruction
Male and female are included
• Neurological conditions other than DD
Musculoskeletal deformities
Visual or hearing impairments
Participants who are unable to engage in the assigned interventions due to physical or cognitive limitations
Parallel
Task Specific Balance Training
Other interventionGroup A participants will undergo Task Specific Balance Training. It is a rehabilitation approach that focus on improving balance by practicing specific balance related tasks.
Task-oriented Basketball Training
Other interventionGroup B participants will undergo Task-oriented Basketball Training. It is a rehabilitation approach that focuses on balance, coordination and gross motor skills through specific basketball related tasks.
Improved balance
Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) is a 14 item performance based measure, assessing balance in sitting, standing and during functional tasks. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-4, with higher scores indicating better balance
Improved motor skills
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) is a standardized observational tool, measuring gross motor function in five domains: lying/rolling(17 items), sitting(20 items), crawling/kneeling(14 items), standing(13 items) and walking/running/jumping(24 items). The score for each dimension is presented as the percentage of maximum score for the dimension. Each of 88 items is scored on a 4-point ordinal scale(0 = does not initiate, 1 = initiates, 2 = partially completes, 3 = completes). Minimum possible total score is 0% and maximum possible score score is 100%. Higher scores represent better gross motor function and improvement.
