Summary

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Realm Educational School. Children aged 6-12 years will be randomly assigned to either the AFE or DBT group using convenient sampling. Participants must be physically active and free from neurological, orthopedic, or cognitive impairments, while those with sensory impairments or recent musculoskeletal injuries will be excluded. Outcome measures will include the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), Y-Balance Test, Observational Gait Scale (OGS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and BOT-2. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will evaluate the effectiveness of both interventions on balance, gait, mobility, and motor coordination.

Conditions

  • Healthy Children

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Adapted Frenkle Exercises

Participants will receive adapted Frenkel exercises progressing from simple to complex movements, focusing on controlled, precise lower-limb movements to improve coordination and balance. Sitting: Controlled leg movements (side leg placement to floor markers, drawing shapes with toes, slow leg lifts). Standing: Marching in place, side leg lifts, and controlled weight shifting. Walking drills: Straight-line walking with visual cues, step-and-stop walking, and figure-8 walking to negotiate obstacles.

BEHAVIORAL

Dynamic Balance Training

Participants will receive dynamic balance training emphasizing postural control, coordination, strength, and functional balance through varied movement tasks. Mat-based balance exercises Rope activities (e.g., jumping) Balance equipment and ground-based balance tasks Paired movements, rhythm and coordination activities, stepping stones, and non-dominant limb tasks
