Detailed Description
In this self-controlled study, children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, aged 7-16, who were at level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System, scored 27 and above from the Modified Mini Mental Test were included.
Children are recruited to the routine physiotherapy program 45 minutes 2 days a week for 8 weeks, and in addition to the routine physiotherapy program dual task training program 45 minutes 2 days a week for the next 8 weeks. The children will evaluate at baseline, after the routine physiotherapy program and after the dual task training program. Children will be evaluate with Gross Motor Function Measurement-88,Modified Ashworth Scale , gait platform, Edinburgh Visual Gait Score, Pediatric Berg Balance Scale,1 Minute Walk Test, Functional Independence Measure, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM-Cerebral Palsy Module.

|
Step time of time-distance gait parameters
Time Frame: Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Step time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as sec and calcules for each lower extremity.
|
Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Stride time of time-distance gait parameters
Time Frame: Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Step time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as sec.
|
Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Cadance of time-distance gait parameters
Time Frame: Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Step time will be evaluated using with gait platform.The software gives the outcome as steps/min.
|
Change from baseline time-distance gait parameters at 8th week and 16th week
|
Visual gait analysis
Time Frame: Change from baseline visual gait analysis at 8th week and 16th week
|
Visual gait analysis will be performed with Edinburgh Visual Gait Score.
Edinburg Visual Gait Score is scoring between 0 to 34 for each lower extremity.
The higher scores points above 0 means abnormal gate.
|
Change from baseline visual gait analysis at 8th week and 16th week
|
Center of Pressure path length of balance parameters
Time Frame: Change from baseline balance parameters at 8th week and 16th week.
|
Center of Pressure path length will be evaluated using with gait platform.
The software gives the outcome as mm.
|
Change from baseline balance parameters at 8th week and 16th week.
|
Ellipse area of balance parameters
Time Frame: Change from baseline balance parameters at 8th week and 16th week.
|

|
Functional balance
Time Frame: Change from baseline functional balance at 8th week and 16th week
|
Functional balance will be evaluate using with Pediatric Berg Balance Scale.
The scale is scoring 0-56.
The higher scores indicate better functional balance.
|

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Gross Motor Function Measurement
Time Frame: Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measurement at 8th week and 16th week
|
Gross motor function measurement will be evaluate using with Gross Motor Function Measurement-88.
The instrument consist of 5 dimensions which names are A- Lying and rolling, B- Sitting, C- Crawling and Kneeling, D- Standing and E- Walking-running-jumping.
Each dimension is scoring 0-100.
The higher scores indicate better motor function.
|
Change from baseline Gross Motor Function Measurement at 8th week and 16th week
|

WeeFIM is consist of 6 part, 18 items.
It consists of self-care, sphincter control, locomotion, transfers, communication and social cognition subtitles.
Scoring is between 18 to 126 and the higher scores indicate better functional indepence levels.
|
Change from baseline Functional Independence Levels at 8th week and 16th week
|
