The study is a randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of Dual task training with and without Backward walking on balance, activity and participations on children with cerebral palsy. Study will be conducted in PSRD and Rehab care. Sample will be recruited randomly and then divided into two groups control and experimental group. Control group will receive dual task training and experimental group will receive both dual task training and backward walking. This treatment would continue for 4 weeks. Patient will be assessed both at the start and end of 4 weeks. The outcome tools for assessment of balance, activity and participation will be following: Pediatric Berg Balance Scale, Time up and Go test and Participation of daily life PODCI Questionnaire. Ethical consideration will be followed and informed consent will be taken from legal guardians.
