Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Subjects and Methods: Forty children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia included in the current research ranged of age from 8 to 12 years. The children participated in this study were assigned randomly into two equal number groups (A and B). Group (A) includes 20 children who received balance exercises, while group (B) includes 20 children who received the same balance exercises of group (A) and treadmill training. The treatment program was applied three sessions per week (60 min for every session) for 8 weeks. Balance Master System and Biodex Balance System were used to evaluate balance of all children in the three groups before and after the treatment program.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Balance exersices group
received traditional exercise program with instructions given to the children for 60 min aiming to improve posture control and balance
Balance exrcises
the group (20 children) received traditional exercise program with instructions given to the children for 60 min aiming to improve posture control and balance. Tools of traditional physical therapy exercises were; special tools were used for traditional physical therapy exercises include vestibular board, rolls of different sizes, blocks and wedges of different heights
Balance exersices and treadmill group
received the same traditional physical therapy program as the same applied in group of balance exercise (30 min), in addition to treadmill training (30 min)
Balance exrcises and Treadmill training
the group (20 children) received the same traditional physical therapy program as the same applied in group of balance exercises, in addition to treadmill training (30 min). The child walked on the treadmill (motorized treadmill, ENTRED, Enraf-Nonius) at 75% of over-ground speed and individually prescribed low-endurance walking at 0% incline for 20 min, three times a week for 8 successive weeks. The walking area of the treadmill is made from heavy steel with a minimum 8-inch thickness and is available with cushioning in case of accidental impacts. Before the walking session, each child underwent 5 min of active stretching exercises that include prolonged and progressive stretching of the hamstrings, quadriceps muscles, and Achilles tendon.
