M: male; F: female; std: standard deviation; : number of participants. value: comparisons for age and gender among the three groups: the variable gender was analyzed using chi-square test, while the age was analyzed using ANOVA; comparisons for GMFCS and ADL between DCP and SCP: the variable GMFCS was analyzed using chi-square test, while the ADL were analyzed using two-sample -test.
