Brief Summary

Various gait deviations are observed in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim was to determine the effect of cognitive task (CT) and motor task (MT) on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 15 children with CP, between 9-15 years old, with Communication Function Classification System (CFSS) level I, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-II were included in the study. The gait with four different conditions (single gait, CT, MT and CT\&MT) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course. Results:

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Gait Disorders, Neurologic; Cognitive Orientation; Motor Activity

Keywords

Cerebral Palsy; Cognitive Task; Dual Task Paradigm; Motor Task; Gait

Interventions

2D Gait analysis DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The gait with four different conditions (single gait, Cognitive Task, Motor Task and Cognitive Task\&Motor Task) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course. * Single: Walking without task at a self-selected speed * Cognitive Task (CT): Walking while counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes * Motor Task (MT): Walking while carrying an empty box * CT + MT: Walking while carrying an empty box and counting down rhythmically from 20 in threes

Children with hemiparetic Cerebral palsy
