Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an effect of eye movement training exercises on gait kinetic variables in cerebral palsy spastic diplegic children.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy Spastic Diplegia

Interventions

OTHER

Selected gait training program

All children in both groups will receive selected gait training (treadmill) sessions for five times per week over 6 successive months.

OTHER

Eye movement exercise

All children in the experimental group will receive eye training exercises for five times per week over 6 successive months. The exercises include tasks to improve visual focus and tracking. Children search for a specific card among 20 while covering one eye, repeated 10 times. They follow a pencil moving vertically, horizontally, in circles, and in a figure 8, maintaining a 1m distance. Exercises include shifting gaze between two pencils, recognizing letters on a shaking card, and tracking a pencil from 5cm to 50cm. Tasks are done with each eye covered separately. Another task involves walking while focusing on a fixed target 1m away at eye level for 5 minutes.
