The Gross Motor Function Measure - 88 items (GMFM-88) is a standardized observational tool used to evaluate changes in gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. The total score ranges from 0 to 264, with higher scores representing better gross motor function

The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a clinical tool used to measure muscle tone and the degree of spasticity in patients with neurological conditions. The scale ranges from 0 to 4, with an additional 1+ category. Scores are interpreted as follows: 0 indicates no increase in muscle tone, 1 indicates a slight increase in muscle tone with a catch and release, 1+ indicates a slight increase with minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the range of motion, 2 indicates a more marked increase in muscle tone through most of the range of motion, 3 indicates considerable increase in muscle tone making passive movement difficult, and 4 indicates that the affected part(s) are rigid in flexion or extension. Lower scores represent better outcomes (normal muscle tone), while higher scores represent worse outcomes

Examples of adverse events to look for: fever, infections, vomit, epilepsy
