Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a leading cause of childhood motor disability, often resulting in limitations in gross motor function, balance, and functional independence. Contemporary pediatric physiotherapy emphasizes activity-based, task-oriented approaches to enhance motor learning and neuroplasticity.

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of task-oriented motor training on gross motor function and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Objectives:

1.       To assess gross motor function before and after task-oriented motor training.

2.       To assess balance before and after task-oriented motor training.

3.       To compare pre- and post-intervention outcomes.

Methodology: A pre–post experimental study was conducted on 30 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (GMFCS levels II–III), aged 5–10 years. Participants received task-oriented motor training for 45 minutes/day, 5 days/week, for 6 weeks. Outcome measures included the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test.

Results: Significant improvement was observed in GMFM-88 and PBS scores post-intervention (p < 0.001).
