The Relationship of Forward and Backward Walking with SMC, Trunk Control and Balance in Children with Cerebral Palsy

NCT05962749 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2024-11-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children aged between 6-18 years old, diagnosed with cerebral palsy and meeting the inclusion criteria, will be included in this study. All children and their parents who agree to participate in the study will be informed about the study and will be required to sign an "Informed Consent Form" indicating their voluntary participation.

To evaluate gait, the 3-Meter Backward Walking Test (3MBWT) and the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) will be performed on a flat. The Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) will be used to assess selective motor control in the lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle, subtalar, and toe joints). To evaluate trunk control, the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) will be applied in a sitting position. For balance assessment, the Pediatric Balance Scale will be used to reflect activities of daily living. To assess functional independence, the Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM) will be applied. The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) will be used to evaluate muscle spasticity.
