The functional strength training is mainly dealt with anti-gravity muscles and aiming at maximal carry over in day to day activities. The functional strength training can be given using resistance and it may be gravity, body weight, resistance bands and free weights. The exercises are specific to the muscle or muscle groups recruited during the functional activities

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| STUDY GROUP | Experimental | they received progressive resistive functional strength training from plantigrade foot position conducted for one hour, 3 days/week. The therapist will replace the conventional physical therapy with the progressive resistive functional strength training, when this is consistent with the objectives of the strength training. |

The therapist will replace the conventional physical therapy with the progressive resistive functional strength training, when this is consistent with the objectives of the strength training. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Gross motor functional measurement | The GMFM is a standardized observational scale designed and validated to measure change in gross motor function over time in children with CP. | pre and after 3 months of intervention,, the higer score will represent the improvement |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Isometric muscle strength measurements | The gold standard for evaluating isometric muscle strength is the portable dynamometer. This is an easy-to-use, sensitive device for detecting muscular action and for performing objective, valid, and reliable measurements in several populations | pre and after 3 months of intervention,, increase in muscle will represent the improvement |
