چکیده انگلیسی
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of dual task constraints on walking and bimanual coordination for children with and without unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP). Ten children with unilateral CP (age 7-11 years; MACS levels I-II) and ten age-matched typically developed children were asked to first stand still while holding a box level (standing condition), second, to walk along a path (baseline condition), and third to walk again while carrying a box steady and level (dual task condition) at a preferred speed. The results showed that children with unilateral CP decreased their walking speed, stride length, step width, and toe clearance from the floor under dual task constraints when compared to the baseline condition (all p's < 0.05), however, typically developing children did not change. Children with unilateral CP also had less level box carrying, larger vertical box movement, and larger elbow movements when compared to typically developing children under dual task condition (all p's < 0.05). Dual task constraints with a secondary motor task like the current walking with a box task seemed challenging for children with unilateral CP. Therefore, future treatments or assessments should consider using dual task constraints to manipulate the difficulty of tasks.
