Dual-Task Training in Children With Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: Raneem Ahmad Mohammad Ashshi
Summary
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.

Interventions
Dual-Task oriented
Participants will perform dual-task oriented training consisting of motor and cognitive dual-task activities during gait and balance exercises. The training includes walking while performing concurrent motor tasks, such as holding or bouncing a ball, and cognitive tasks while walking. Task difficulty will be progressively increased according to the participant's ability.
Traditional Physical Therapy Program
Participants will receive a traditional physical therapy program including stretching exercises, standing and balance training, and walking exercises
