Dual Task Training Interventions and Mobility-Based Outcomes in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Scoping Review.
Article in Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) struggle in dual task (DT) situations, where interference may decrease performance when executing two simultaneous tasks. Dual task training (DTT) improves primary motor performance in individuals with typical development and neurological conditions, and emerging research also suggests benefits for DT performance. Its potential in children with CP, however, remains unexplored. This scoping review aims to (1) identify; (2) describe; and (3) synthesize the current evidence for DTT interventions in children with CP, and (4) evaluating its effects on mobility-based impairment, activity, and participation level outcomes.
methodsFive electronic databases were searched. Studies were included if they were in English, included children with CP, used a motor-motor or motor-cognitive DTT intervention, detailed the intervention, and reported results.
resultsThe six studies included 117 children with CP (F: 50, M: 67) and used motor-motor (
conclusionDespite the study heterogeneity, the results provide early, yet promising, evidence that DTT may enhance primary motor task performance in children with CP. Robust and rigorous research is needed to explore the effects of exercise prescription, training regimens, and optimal dosing on motor and cognitive outcomes.
