Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
studying the relationship between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and, Quality of Life with CP can provide valuable insights into the musculoskeletal consequences of motor impairments and guide interventions to improve bone health. Statement of the problem Is there a relation between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and Quality of Life in children with CP ? Purpose of the study To study the relationship between: 1. Bone Mineral Density and Gross Motor Function in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children. 2. Bone Mineral Density and Quality of Life in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children. 3. Gross Motor Function and Quality of Life in ambulant and non-ambulant CP children.

Treatments
Group 1 (Ambulant )
consisted of 37 children with CP classified to level I, II and III according to GMFCS., then:~1. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans will be used to assess bone mineral density (BMD).~2. Gross motor function measurement scale (GMFM) will be used to assess gross motor function.~3. Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children (CP QOL-Child) will be used to assess quality of life (QOL).
Group 2 (Non-Ambulant )
consisted of 38 children with CP classified to level IV and V according to GMFCS.then:~1. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans will be used to assess bone mineral density (BMD).~2. Gross motor function measurement scale (GMFM) will be used to assess gross motor function.~3. Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children (CP QOL-Child) will be used to assess quality of life (QOL).
