Abstract
Background and Need for the Study: Spastic diplegic cerebral palsy is the most prevalent and common formof the cerebral palsy. Gait, balance, and coordination are all negatively impacted because it mostly affects thebilateral lower extremities.Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the research was to find out the effectiveness of task specific circuit trainingon gait and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.Methods: In this research, selected 30 children according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the Childrenparticipating in the study were separated into two groups, Task specific circuit training group and Conventionalgroup, children’s parents were explained about the safety and procedure. Inform assent was provided to thechildren’s parents after explaining about the intervention and study procedure.Results: Pre-test measurements and Post-test measurements of the gait and functional independence, assessedusing the Edinburgh visual gait scale (EVGS) and GMFM-88. Paired t-test and unpaired t-tests were used forcalculating the mean and standard deviation.Conclusion: The research eventually reached the conclusion that task-specific circuit training is an efficient methodfor improving gait and functional mobility when used in conjunction with regular physiotherapy.
