Clinical Trial Summary
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.
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.
