Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the effects of dual task training on gait and balance parameters, gross motor function skills, functional mobility skills, functional independence levels and health-related quality of life o in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The clinical study's hypothesis is the dual task training programs are superior to conventional physiotherapy programs to improve the parameters in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this self-controlled study, children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, aged 7-16, who were at level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System, scored 27 and above from the Modified Mini Mental Test were included.

Children are recruited to the routine physiotherapy program 45 minutes 2 days a week for 8 weeks, and in addition to the routine physiotherapy program dual task training program 45 minutes 2 days a week for the next 8 weeks. The children will evaluate at baseline, after the routine physiotherapy program and after the dual task training program. Children will be evaluate with Gross Motor Function Measurement-88,Modified Ashworth Scale , gait platform, Edinburgh Visual Gait Score, Pediatric Berg Balance Scale,1 Minute Walk Test, Functional Independence Measure, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM-Cerebral Palsy Module.
