Dual task training enhances gross motor function, reduce fatigue and minimize cognitive motor interference in children with diplegic cerebral palsy by promoting neuroplasticity and improving dual task processing. Vestibular stimulation improve balance triggering the vestibulospinal reflex, which play a key role in maintaining posture and reducing the risk of fall. Integrating dual task training with vestibular stimulation can provide a more holistic rehabilitation strategy by enhancing balance and posture stability through improved vestibular system activation, supporting motor and cognitive coordination by challenging the brain to handle tasks concurrently, and boosting functional mobility by mimicking everyday situations that require divided attention. This RCT evaluates its effectiveness in optimizing motor-cognitive integration, functional mobility and endurance compared to conventional motor training approaches.
