Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1 TD	Other: walking and balance performance evaluation Procedure: muscle strength, walking and balance performance HHD- muscle strength, Balance performance - TUG, FRT, Walking performance- gaiterite and 2 min walk test
Experimental: 2 TBI	Other: walking and balance performance evaluation Procedure: muscle strength, walking and balance performance HHD- muscle strength, Balance performance - TUG, FRT, Walking performance- gaiterite and 2 min walk test
Experimental: a Cerebral palsy	Other: walking and balance performance evaluation Procedure: muscle strength, walking and balance performance HHD- muscle strength, Balance performance - TUG, FRT, Walking performance- gaiterite and 2 min walk test

Detailed Description:

Step length and step time variability will be measured with an electronic walkway, strength of 4 lower-extremity muscle groups will be tested bilaterally with a hand held dynamometer, walking performance as will be assessed by the 2 minute walk test, energy expenditure index (EEI) and rating of perceived exertion (OMNI scale).
