About this study

Conventional rehabilitation (CR) practices will be applied to the control group. Conventional rehabilitation (KT) application will be applied to the study group in addition to Kinesio Tex tape derotation banding. With the kinesio tape application, it is aimed to provide economical, ergonomic and effective support to the patients in non-clinical times. It is aimed to evaluate the patients' balance, quality of life, performance test, spasticity level and gait quality.

Primary outcomes

  1. 6MWT

    Time frame: Change from Baseline 6MWT at 3 days

    The 6-meter course was mapped as 10 meters in length with a 2-meter acceleration interval and a 6-meter testing interval. There is no scoring range for the 6MWT.

  2. PBBT

    Time frame: Change from Baseline PBBT at 3 days

    PBBT is a 14-item, criterion-referenced measure and examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks. PBBT is scored between 0 to 56. Higher scores indicate better function.

  3. MAS

    Time frame: Change from Baseline MAS at 3 days

    The Modified Ashworth Scale is a 6-point rating scale for gauging muscle resistance to passive movement. MAS is scored from 0 to 4, where lower scores represent normal muscle tone and higher scores represent spasticity.

  4. EVGS

    Time frame: Change from Baseline EVGS at 3 days

    EVGS was developed to evaluate gait in children with CP using video recordings. It includes 17 variables, and each of these variables can be scored as 0, 1, or 2 based on movement deviation from normal. enced measure and examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks. EVGS is scored between 0 to 34. Higher scores indicate worse gait function.

  5. KINDL

    Time frame: Change from Baseline KINDL at 3 days

    The KINDL was derived from a conceptual model, in which the four main components of quality of life, namely psychological well-being, social relationships, physical function and everyday life activities, were included in interviews with children. KINDL is scored between 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
