An interventional study of Dual-Task oriented and Traditional Physical Therapy Program in Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy, sponsored by Raneem Ahmad Mohammad Ashshi. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 4 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-13.
Sponsored by Raneem Ahmad Mohammad Ashshi · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
27 studies on the registry are indexed under Cerebral palsy, spastic, diplegic; 7 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 24 is below the median of 42 across 23 interventional studies indexed under Cerebral palsy, spastic, diplegic.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive the designed physical therapy program combined with dual-task oriented training.
Behavioral: Dual-Task oriented
Participants in this group will receive the traditional physical therapy exercise program only
Behavioral: Traditional Physical Therapy Program
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.
Participants will receive a traditional physical therapy program including stretching exercises, standing and balance training, and walking exercises
Change in Gait Velocity
Gait velocity will be assessed using Kinovea video analysis software and reported in meters per second (m/s).
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after completion of the intervention
Change in Functional Balance
Functional balance will be assessed using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). The scale consists of 14 items, with each item scored from 0 to 4. The total score ranges from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating better functional balance.
Time frame: Baseline and immediately after completion of the intervention
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data (IPD) will not be shared to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the participating children.
