Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of synchronous and asynchronous action observation therapy (AOT) on balance, gait, and functional capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in motor skills, particularly motor control and postural balance. By examining the contributions of synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (delayed) AOT methods to motor performance, this study seeks to identify the most effective therapeutic approach for this population.

Interventions

OTHER

Synchronous Action Observation Therapy

Real-time observation and execution of motor tasks through structured video modules designed based on participants' GMFCS level and extremity involvement.

OTHER

Asynchronous Action Observation Therapy

Observation of structured motor task videos followed by delayed execution, adapted to individual GMFCS levels and extremity involvement patterns.
