Rehabilitation Assessment of Motor Function In Cerebral Palsy Using Explainable AI
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate an AI-based prediction model for functional mobility and gait outcomes in children with cerebral palsy using low-cost clinical and gait data collected in rehabilitation settings in Pakistan. The study aims to determine whether machine learning models can accurately predict mobility status, gait symmetry, and functional independence in ambulatory and non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can clinical and gait-related variables accurately predict functional mobility and gait outcomes in children with spastic cerebral palsy? * Can video-based assessment tools provide clinically useful data for AI-based rehabilitation assessment in low-resource settings? Researchers will analyze clinical, functional, and gait data to identify patterns associated with mobility limitations and rehabilitation outcomes. Participants will: * Undergo clinical and functional assessments, including measures of balance, mobility, posture, and functional independence. * Perform gait and movement tasks while data are collected using AI-based video analysis tools. * Participate in routine rehabilitation sessions while their movement and functional performance are recorded for analysis. * Provide demographic and clinical information relevant to cerebral palsy severity and functional status.

Interventions
AI-Based Functional Mobility and Gait Assessment
Participants will continue receiving their standard/routine physiotherapy rehabilitation program as prescribed by their treating therapist. The study will involve observational collection of clinical, functional, and gait-related data using standardized assessment tools, and AI-based video analysis. No additional therapeutic intervention will be administered specifically for research purposes.
