Assessment

Primary outcomes

The modified Rankin Scale(mRS), Gross Motor Function Classification System(GMFCS), and Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS) are used for outcomes in stroke, cerebral palsy, and autism spectrum disease(ASD), respectively.
Measurements: 10m-walking test and timed up and go test are performed for stroke and cerebral palsy patients, respectively. In the walking test, the gait exercise ability and movement of each part of body are analyzed by two-dimensional image analysis. In the TUG test, the performance time while a participant stands up from a chair and sits down accompanied by 3m-walk turn is measured.

Key secondary outcomes

GMFM is used for cerebral palsy, while ABC is for ASD. 1n some patients with stroke the stabilometry test is performed.
