Effects of Circuit Training and Task Oriented Training on Balance and Quality of Life in Children With Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders affecting movement and posture, caused by non-progressive disturbances in the developing fetal or infant brain. Circuit training and task-oriented training are two emerging approaches in pediatric rehabilitation. Circuit training focuses on structured exercises performed in sequence to improve strength, agility, and balance, while task-oriented training emphasizes repetitive practice of meaningful, functional activities relevant to daily life.
