Brief Summary  

This experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Perturbation Based Training and Task Specific Training in improving the gait, balance and muscle power in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).A total of 120 children will be screened and randomly assigned to one of three groups : Perturbation Based Training  (Group A),  Task Specific Training (Group B), and Control (Conventional Therapy, Group C). The study will be conducted at the Physiotherapy Outpatient Department, Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be done using Euleria Riablo  for gait, Balance accessor for balance, and Push pull dynamometer for muscle power. The goal is to determine whether these non-pharmacological approaches can serve as effective complementary therapies for children with ADHD.
