About

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a coding system developed to describe the health status of individuals in a universal way. The increasingly common core sets are short forms of ICF categories that are specifically selected for diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among the lower extremity orthoses commonly used in children with cerebral palsy (CP), body structure and functions, activity and participation level, and is to determine the relationship between clinical tests and ICF CP core set. For this purpose, a total of 75 children with ages between 3 and 18 will be divided into 3 groups, including using a walking orthosis, using a resting orthosis, and using both walking and resting orthoses. Children's muscle tone, joint limitation, gross motor functions, balance skills, activity and participation levels and quality of life will be assessed with the tests frequently used in the clinic separately and with the core set in a holistic framework.
