About

Cerebral palsy (CP) causes problems in posture, movement, breathing, postural control and balance in individuals. This work; This study was conducted to examine the relationship between functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy.

Full description

Cerebral palsy (CP) causes problems in posture, movement, breathing, postural control and balance in individuals. This work; This study was conducted to examine the relationship between functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy.

23 children with spastic type CP and 22 typically developing children aged 6-18 years were included in the study. After recording the demographic data, the trunk control "Trunk control measurement scale" (TCMS), the activities of daily living "Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory" (PDI), the balance "Pediatric Berg Balance Scale" (PBDI), functional exercise capacity "2 Minute Walking Test" and respiratory muscle strength was evaluated with maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) measurements. Compared to individuals with typical development, individuals with CP had lower TCMS, PPI, PBRS, 2-minute walking test and respiratory muscle strength values (p<0.01). At the same time, it was observed that individuals with hemiparetic CP had better TCMS, PPI, PBRS scores, functional exercise capacities and respiratory muscle strength compared to individuals with diparetic disease and individuals with CP at GMFCS I level compared to individuals with other levels. It was found that there was a high correlation between trunk control, balance and functional capacity of individuals with CP. It was concluded that the influence on trunk control affects balance and functional capacity. There was also a correlation between the scales.

Trial design

45 participants in 2 patient groups

children with cerebral palsy

Description:

After recording demographic data, "Trunk control measurement scale" (TCMS) to evaluate trunk control, "Gorge motor function classification system" (GMFCS) to measure gross motor functions, "Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory" (PDI) to evaluate activities of daily living, balance 'Pediatric Berg Balance Scale' was used to evaluate functional capacities and '2-minute walking test' was used to evaluate functional capacities. In addition, respiratory muscle strength was evaluated with maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) measurements.

Treatment:

Other: TCMS, PEDİ, respiration, GMFCS,PBS,functional capacity
