Dual-task balance training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining mental and physical exercises (dual-task training) with balance therapy can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy walk better. The treatment involves doing a thinking task while moving, which may improve coordination and balance more than exercise alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has diplegic cerebral palsy (confirmed by a doctor or therapist).
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child can walk with or without a walker or other support (GMFCS levels II–III).
- Your child's health has been stable for the last 6 months.
- Your child has not had orthopedic surgery or botulinum toxin injections in the last 6 months.
- Your child does not have severe uncontrolled epilepsy or other serious medical conditions.

This study tests a treatment that combines wearing a special suit with doing two tasks at once (like walking while talking) to help children with diplegic cerebral palsy improve their gross motor skills and walking ability.
This study tests a therapy that combines two activities at once to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement and coordination. It may help your child with everyday tasks that require doing two things at the same time.
This study tests whether a special balance exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their posture and use less energy when moving. It might help your child move more easily and feel less tired.
This study tests whether doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with virtual reality exercises to see if it can improve balance and thinking skills in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to help with everyday movement and cognitive function.
This study tests whether combining balance training exercises with gentle electrical stimulation can help children with one-sided weakness (hemiparesis) improve their balance and movement control. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard therapy alone.
