Healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: * • The children age ranged from 5 to 7 years old (early childhood). * Spasticity degree ranges from 1 to 1+ as measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale * Children with lack of concentration according to MARS (Moss Attention Rating Scale) * Children can stand alone and walk. Exclusion Criteria: * • Children with deafness.

Primary outcome measure(s)

concentration as a cognitive function — pre intervention and 3 months post intervention
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.
Gait — pre intervention and 3 months post intervention
improvement measured by Gross motor function measure 88 (gait section), 0 (minimum score) to 100 (maximum score) percentage %
Kinovea, (Spatial and Temporal Parameters) — pre and 3 months post intervention
Kinovea, (Spatial and Temporal Parameters); Step length in centimeters (higher score better)
Kinovea, (Spatial and Temporal Parameters) ; stride length in centimeters (higher score better) — pre and 3 months post intervention
Kinovea, (Spatial and Temporal Parameters); stride length in centimeters (higher score better)
Gait (cadence) — pre and 3 months post intervention
Using Kinovea, cadence measured in steps\\minute (lower score better).
