This randomized clinical trial investigates the effect of oculomotor training on postural stability and motor proficiency in children with spastic diplegia. Participants will undergo structured oculomotor exercises designed to enhance visual-motor integration and balance control. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized measures of postural stability and motor proficiency before and after intervention. The study aims to determine whether targeted oculomotor training can improve functional motor performance and balance in this pediatric population. By evaluating the effect of structured oculomotor training on postural stability and motor proficiency in children with spastic diplegia, the study seeks to establish whether visual-motor interventions can serve as effective adjuncts to conventional therapy. The rationale is grounded in neuroplasticity: repeated oculomotor exercises may strengthen neural pathways linking visual input to motor output, thereby improving balance and functional performance.
