Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between lower extremity selectivity and gait in children with cerebral palsy. 32 volunteer children with CP between the ages of 5-20 will participate in the study. The Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) questionnaire will be used to assess lower extremity selectivity, and the Edinburgh observational gait scale will be used to assess gait. Both assessments are observational.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Edinburgh Visual Gait Score	It consists of 17 items scored separately for the right and left lower extremities. Assessments include 6 anatomical levels: trunk, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. These anatomical levels are evaluated in the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes. A 3-point ordinal scale is used for scoring. In scoring, a value of 0 indicates normal, a value of 1 indicates moderate deviation from normal, and a value of 2 indicates significant deviation from normal. The scores obtained by watching the camera recordings for each lower extremity are summed and a single score is obtained.	Baseline
Primary	Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE)	Evaluates the selective motor control of the lower extremities. It evaluates hip, knee, ankle, subtalar and finger joints bilaterally. Voluntary flexion and extension movements are observed to assess selective voluntary motor control at each joint. Except for the hip joint, which is tested in the side-lying position to allow adequate joint movement, the evaluation of other joints is made in the sitting position.	Baseline
