Dual-task training for children with cerebral palsy
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 18 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
- Your child's level of movement ability (GMFCS) must be between levels I and III.
- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions.
- Your child's muscle stiffness (measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale) must be low (0 or +1).
- Your child must not have vision or hearing problems, heart disease, fixed joint deformities, or recent surgeries or botox injections (within 6 months).

This trial tests a special type of physical therapy that focuses on walking and everyday movements to help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve their ability to walk and move around more easily. The therapy includes specific exercises that are tailored to your child's needs, which may help them become more independent in daily activities.
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 different therapy methods to help children with cerebral palsy walk better. It focuses on improving their walking pattern and may offer a structured program to support your child's movement.
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 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.
This trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
