Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

forty children with hemiplegia and diplegia were recruited from outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy, Cairo University and October 6 University. These children aged from 4 to 8 years old. Anxiety, motor function, spasticity and balance were assessed by Modified Yale Pre-Operative Anxiety Scale ((m -YPAS), The Gross Motor Functional Measurement-88 (GMFM-88), the modified Ashworth scale and Biodex balance system respectively.
