Effect of Multidimensional Trunk Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Participants in the control group will receive two face-to-face physiotherapy sessions and one asynchronous video-based exercise training session per week for eight weeks. Following the baseline assessments, a conventional exercise program will be individually planned by the physiotherapist for each child. Each 60-minute session will include strengthening exercises for upper and lower extremity muscles, active and passive stretching exercises for spastic muscles, static and dynamic balance training in standing, and gait exercises.

Following baseline assessments, a personalized 60-minute exercise program will be developed by the physiotherapist for each child in the intervention group, consisting of two face-to-face sessions and one asynchronous video-based session per week for eight weeks. Each session will include 30 minutes of multidimensional trunk-focused exercises-such as static and dynamic trunk control (e.g., reaching, rotational movements), scapular and pelvic mobilizations, isolated muscle training, proprioceptive activities, and core strengthening-followed by 30 minutes of conventional therapy, including upper and lower extremity strengthening, stretching for spastic muscles, balance training in standing, and gait exercises.
