Summary

Cerebral Palsy is an umbrella definition that refers to a disorder that occurs after a problem affecting a person's brain functions and has symptoms such as sensory, motor and mental deficits. Cerebral Palsy can cause serious functional losses in individuals. Various rehabilitation approaches have been developed and used to eliminate these functional losses. One of these approaches is a therapy technique called Task-oriented therapy, which focuses on completing tasks that mostly involve functional activities that the participating individuals do actively and repeatedly. There are various ways to perform task-oriented therapy. These can be achieved by motivating the individual to perform various tasks (cutting with scissors, buttoning, putting on and taking off legos, etc.) in an active, intense and repetitive manner, as well as through games played on devices such as tablet computers that have emerged with the developing technology. Thanks to their Android and touch features, such devices can motivate people to use their upper extremities functionally. Thanks to such applications, rehabilitation practices can be made more fun and effective results can be obtained. In the literature, it was seen that video game-based rehabilitation practices were used in individuals with cerebral palsy, but their effects on balance were mostly evaluated. Its effect on upper extremity functional capacity was mostly limited to feasibility studies. For these reasons, there is no data in the literature on this subject with quality results. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether upper extremity functional capacity can be improved by using the Tablet PC-based Fruit ninja game, which is easily accessible today, in the rehabilitation of individuals with cerebral palsy, using objective measurement tools.
