Summary

The gait problems of the child with CP should be examined in detail. At this point, by assigning a different task to the child with the backward walking assessment, body perception, trunk stability provided by anterior-posterior cocontraction, balance, correction and protective reactions are observed. This observation ensures the exact determination of the problem that will guide the treatment.

Back walking is a more difficult activity as it involves neuromuscular control and depends on proprioceptive sense and protective reflexes. In activities of daily living, backward walking is needed to perform tasks such as leaning on a chair and opening the door.

The only test that can be applied to evaluate the ability to walk backwards is the 3 meter back walk test. This test was found to be valid and reliable both in the elderly population and in patients with total knee arthroplasty. In the literature, no study has been found on the factors affecting the three-meter backward walking skills in children with CP. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between 3 meter back walk test and proprioception, trunk control and muscle strength.
