Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to find the effectivenessof motor dual task training and cognitive dual task training in children withcerebral palsy to improve balance in children and reduce their incidence offall.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group ofdisorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain balance andposture. CP is the most common motor disability in childhood. CP is caused byabnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects aperson’s ability to control his or her muscles.

The prevalence of CP has risen towell above 2.0 per 1000 live births. In this time span the proportion oflow-birthweight infants rose, the proportion of diplegia decreased, while theproportion of hemiplegia increased. CP is more prevalent in more deprivedsocio-economic populations. The majority of people with CP have the spasticsyndrome of which the diplegic group is the smallest. Dependent on the subgroupof CP, 25 – 80% have additional impairments.

According to Karolina et al (2020)patient receiving dual task training have improved balance and functionalmobility children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy have improvedsignificantly in the course of 3 weeks.
