About

The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of Telerehabilitation Based Structured Home Program Implementations on functional status, activity and participation in preschool children with Cerebral Palsy.

Full description

The structured home program will consist of activities determined by the family members according to the functional level of the child and the activities child can't do, and which are determined according to the goals specific to the child. In order to ensure that the structured home program created can be implemented by the family, a 1 hour family training will be provided.

After the structured home program training, a 45-minute video interview will be held with one of the family members (mother-father-caregiver) once a week, in order to check by the physiotherapist whether the home program is implemented correctly. Video interviews will be the telerehabilitation part of the study.

During routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices, activities organized by physiotherapists as one or two sessions per week according to the functional levels of children with CP. Routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications include increasing postural control, gaining motor development steps, strengthening training, balance training, long-term stretching training, manual therapy, hydrotherapy, hippotherapy and neurodevelopmental therapy approaches. Telerehabilitation-based structured home program applications, which are given in addition to routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications, and only individuals who receive routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation will be followed for 24 weeks. Individuals who receive routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation will be monitored only for control purposes, and a structured home program will be given to the group that receives Telerehabilitation Based Structured Home Program Practices, which are given in addition to routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications. The researcher will not be included in the program of the group that only benefits from routine physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices. A total of three evaluations will be made for both groups, after the training before the training and after 12 weeks from the training.
