- Original description
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of dual-task oriented training on functional performance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group will receive a designed physical therapy program combined with dual-task oriented training, while the control group will receive the designed physical therapy program only. The study will evaluate changes in gait and balance before and after the intervention. Gait performance will be assessed using spatiotemporal gait parameters, and functional balance will be assessed using the Pediatric Balance Scale.Read full original descriptionShow less
