The aim of this study is to assess developmental milestones and balance in children in Pakistan. We are using Ages and Stages Questionnaire for developmental milestones and Timed up and Go test for balance.
We will visit daycare centers and primary schools to collect data and compare them to cut off values provided in the scale. After scoring each domain, scores will tell whether child needs further investigation or he is healthy.
