About this trial

Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive condition caused by early brain injury that affects movement, posture, and muscle tone. Spastic diplegia mainly involves the lower limbs, leading to stiffness, weakness, and abnormal gait patterns.

These impairments reduce functional independence and increase caregiver burden. Loaded Treadmill Training and Task Specific Training are two rehabilitation approaches used to improve strength and Gait function.

This study compares their effectiveness in improving gait and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic CP.
