Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neurological disorder in children and one of the major causes of motor disability. CP causes changes in postural and sensory integration, balance, coordination disorders and muscle weakness due to problems in muscle tone. An effective rehabilitation program is of great importance in solving many problems that can be associated with decreased balance control. Researchers have stated that rehabilitation programs with repetitive special tasks are effective. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of conventional physiotherapy and dual task exercise training in addition to conventional physiotherapy on balance, mobility, physical performance and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.

Conditions
