Clinical Trial Summary
The gait problems of the child with CP should be examined in detail. At this point, by
assigning a different task to the child with the backward walking assessment, body
perception, trunk stability provided by anterior-posterior cocontraction, balance, correction
and protective reactions are observed. This observation ensures the exact determination of
the problem that will guide the treatment.
Back walking is a more difficult activity as it involves neuromuscular control and depends on
proprioceptive sense and protective reflexes. In activities of daily living, backward walking
is needed to perform tasks such as leaning on a chair and opening the door.
The only test that can be applied to evaluate the ability to walk backwards is the 3 meter
back walk test. This test was found to be valid and reliable both in the elderly population
and in patients with total knee arthroplasty. In the literature, no study has been found on
the factors affecting the three-meter backward walking skills in children with CP. The aim of
this study is to examine the relationship between 3 meter back walk test and proprioception,
trunk control and muscle strength.
Description:
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs in the immature
brain during pregnancy, birth or postpartum. It is the picture of childhood that most
frequently causes functional disability. Motor development retardation, balance and posture
problems are among the most important problems that cause disability in CP. This picture is
often accompanied by cognitive, sensory, perceptual deficiencies, orthopedic disorders and
other medical problems. In children with spastic CP, selective movement deficiencies, lack of
muscle strength, lack of postural control, lack of proprioception sense, loss of balance and
coordination, muscle tone disorders, and motor development delays are seen. Disorders due to
muscle tone problems, secondary joint deformations and alignment problems, especially in
walking function, are common problems in activities performed against gravity.
Deficiencies in trunk strength and control, lack of strength in antigravity muscles, severity
of spasticity, loss of balance and coordination, combined with time-distance problems of
walking, cause excessive energy consumption, insufficient for daily living activities and
social participation, negatively affecting quality of life, causing muscle and joint problems
over time. gait pattern.
The main purpose of the study is to examine the relationship of the 3-meter back walk test
with proprioception, trunk control and muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy.
