Brief Summary

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

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neurological disorder in children and one of the major causes of motor disability. CP causes changes in postural and sensory integration, balance, coordination disorders and muscle weakness due to problems in muscle tone. An effective rehabilitation program is of great importance in solving many problems that can be associated with decreased balance control. Researchers have stated that rehabilitation programs with repetitive special tasks are effective. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of conventional physiotherapy and dual task exercise training in addition to conventional physiotherapy on balance, mobility, physical performance and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Conventional rehabilitation (stretching, strengthening, balance) plus dual task exercise training (simple math during active stretching, carrying the ball without dropping child while on the balance pad) will be applied 3 days a week for 12 weeks. Interventions will be implemented individually. Patients will be evaluated before and 12 weeks after the interventions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
