What this Trial Is About
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have impaired balance due to poor postural control and coordination, increasing fall risk and limiting daily activities. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Lower-Extremity Functional Training (LIFT) and Pediatric Endurance and Limb Strengthening (PEDALS) on balance and mobility in children with diplegic CP. A total of 22 children (ages 6-12) from Adil Special School, Sargodha, will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will perform exercises targeting strength, coordination, gait, and balance; the other will perform pedaling exercises. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include the 6-Minute Walk Test, GMFM-88, and Pediatric Balance Scale. Data will be analyzed using SPSS 23
