Egypt104 participantsStarted 2022-10-20

Plain-language summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the correlation between BMI and balance and gross motor capacities in children with spastic diplegia. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a correlation between BMI, balance disturbances and gross motor capacity in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy? Researchers compared between results of biodex balance system , GMFM and BMI measures participants stood on biodex balance platform for balance measurement and performed Gross Motor Function Measurement items for gross motor capacities assessment
