About this study

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88)

    Time frame: At baseline

    GMFM-66 is a widely used scale to show the improvement in motor function. The KMFM-88 evaluates the motor functional structure in five main positions: supine and prone lying and rolling (A), sitting (B), crawling and kneeling (C), standing (D), walking, running and jumping (E). The highest score is 100, the lowest score is 0.

  2. Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST)

    Time frame: At baseline

    It is used to evaluate the upper extremity motor functions of children. QUEST is a test that evaluates the quality of movement and dexterity of the child with SP. QUEST is concerned with how the child does the activity he or she can do. Examines the quality of upper limb skills in 7 sections. The highest score is 100, the lowest score is 50.

Other outcomes

  1. Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCO)

    Time frame: At baseline

    It is used to evaluate trunk postural control in children with CP. Examines 7 levels of body control with and without support at C7, T3, T11, L3 and Pelvis level. The highest score is 20, the lowest score is 1.

  2. ABILHAND-KIDS

    Time frame: At baseline

    It evaluates hand skills in children with CP according to the activity frames of ICF-CY. It consists of 21 items. The highest score is 20, the lowest score is 0.

  3. ABILOCO KIDS

    Time frame: At baseline

    It is a scale that evaluates the walking ability of children with CP according to the activity frame of ICF-CY. . 10 maddeden oluşmaktadır. The highest score is 20, the lowest score is 0.

  4. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)

    Time frame: At baseline

    It is used to evaluate the effect of individualized, goal directed physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs for children with CP. In order to measure the effect of the treatment, specific goals for the child are determined together with the family, child and experts. Goals; It is graded at five levels, from -2 to 2.

  5. LIFE-H

    Time frame: At baseline

    It is used to evaluate activity performance and satisfaction levels in individuals. This assessment scale is a measure that determines the problems faced by individuals in the field of activity performance through a semi-structured interview. This measurement evaluates the activity performance problems of individuals with the performance and satisfaction scores they give themselves. The highest score is 10, the lowest score is 0.

  7. Europian Child Environment Questionnaire ECEQ

    Time frame: At baseline

    It was created in order to evaluate the environmental factors in children with CP and to determine the needs and accessibility to the needs.
