Dual Tasking in Children With Cerebral Palsy and Healthy Children: an EEG Study

University Hospital, Grenoble84 enrolled

Overview

Simultaneous execution of motor and cognitive tasks is embedded in the daily life of children. An EEG study will be conducted on healthy children and children with cerebral palsy to study the neural correlates during dual tasking while walking

Children will walk at their preferred speed on a treadmill. During dual tasking, they will listen to animals cries and will have to count the number of specified animals cries.
