Brief Summary

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

Various gait deviations are observed in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim was to determine the effect of cognitive task (CT) and motor task (MT) on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 15 children with CP, between 9-15 years old, with Communication Function Classification System (CFSS) level I, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-II were included in the study. The gait with four different conditions (single gait, CT, MT and CT\&MT) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course.

Detailed Description

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

All children with CP were instructed to walk on the track under four different conditions:

* Single: Walking without task at a self-selected speed
* Cognitive Task (CT): Walking while counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes
* Motor Task (MT): Walking while carrying an empty box
* CT + MT: Walking while carrying an empty box and counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes

The task was explained to individuals by a physiotherapist. The individuals were not allowed to use orthosis during walking performance. Running was not accepted. 30 seconds were given to take a break between tasks. The physiotherapist followed the individuals along the track in case of any falling. If the child was not able to complete the track (falling or need to rest), the evaluation was accepted uncomplete and was excluded from the database.

The Kinovea-08.15 software program was used to assess all of the outputs (images and videos) from the camera
