About this trial

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.
