Comparison of Synchronous and Asynchronous Action Observation Therapy in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of synchronous and asynchronous action observation therapy (AOT) on balance, gait, and functional capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in motor skills, particularly motor control and postural balance. By examining the contributions of synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (delayed) AOT methods to motor performance, this study seeks to identify the most effective therapeutic approach for this population.

Interventions
Synchronous Action Observation Therapy
