An observational study in Gross Motor, sponsored by October 6 University. Recruiting at 2 sites in Egypt. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 5 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-05.
Sponsored by October 6 University · Observational
Caregiving for cerebral palsy children covers a very wide range of activities such as heavy lifting and turning, bathing, helping the child to use the toilet, getting the child to sleep, dressing and assisting the transfer causes burden of care because these children are different from normal ones and need extra care and attention in regards to their physical disabilities and limitations. This type of burden may adversely impact on caregiver's physical and mental functioning.
Low back pain develops more periods when transferring their children, manual handling can put long term physical strain on mothers and be a contributing factor to a higher pain Severity. The mothers of children with CP report not only declined physical and mental health, but also fatigue and impaired quality of life. Frequently in mothers being exposed to more physical load for longer.
October 6 University is the lead sponsor of 148 studies on the registry; 34 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Sixty cerebral palsy child from both sexes will participate in this study with their mothers They will be selected from the outpatient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy of Cairo University and October 6 University
Inclusion Criteria:1- Their age will be ranged from 3 to 5 years. 2- Children with clinical diagnosis of bilateral spastic cerebral palsy 3-Their functional level will be ranged from I to V according to Gross motor function classification system 4-Their will be ranged from 18-23 Exclusion Criteria:-
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

The examination for children's gross motor function, assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66), and maternal low back pain-related disability measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), as well as overall health-related quality of life assessed using the Short Form-36 (SF-36).
Gross Motor Function Measure
The Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66) is a standardized observational assessment designed to evaluate gross motor function in individuals with motor impairments. It consists of 66 items derived from the original GMFM-88 and assesses activities across five dimensions.
Time frame: 4 days
Arabic Version of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
he Arabic Version of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a self-administered, condition-specific outcome measure used to evaluate disability associated with low back pain. pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, traveling, and employment or homemaking. Each section is scored from 0 to 5, with the total score expressed as a percentage, where higher scores indicate greater disability
Time frame: 4 days
