Summary

Children with Cerebral Palsy have generally limited selective motor control which affects their ability to complete functional tasks Selective Motor Control has been shown to correlate with specific characteristics of gait, however in video based observational gait analysis, the sub phases of the gait cycle, which are affected by selective motor control, has not been investigated in children with Cerebral Palsy. Therefore the aim of this study was determine the relationship between Edinburgh Visual Gait Score and Selective Motor Control of the Lower Extremity test in children with cerebral palsy. Forty-two cerebral palsy children with Gross Motor Function Classification System level I-II-III and between 4-18 ages were participated for the study. After the demographic characteristics and all assessments of the patients were recorded, the gait characteristics of children were assessed by video based observational gait analysis. According to Edinburgh Visual Gait Score, phases of gait were analyzed.

Interventions

OTHER

Video based observational gait analysis and SCALE Test

Twenty-four spastic diparesis and eighteen spastic hemiparesis cases were included in the study. Data was collected from 84 lower extremities. There were 22 female and 20 male patients aged between 4-18 years. Personal and disease-related information of 42 individuals with diplegic or hemiparetic CP were recorded by using the data collection form. Information collection form; The patient's name-surname, age, gender, height, weight, history, gestational age, birth weight, SCALE Test, GMFCS, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Range of Motion (ROM), EVGS, affected side and previous surgical histories were recorded and their functional levels were determined and recorded.
