Summary

This study investigates the effects of core stabilization exercises on balance and upper extremity function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 36 children aged 5 to 12 years with CP were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Both groups received standard physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and occupational therapy five days a week for four weeks. In addition, the intervention group performed daily core stabilization exercises for approximately 45 minutes. The study assessed balance using the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale and the Trunk Control Measurement Scale, and upper extremity function using the Box and Block Test and the Assisting Hand Assessment before and after the treatment period.
