Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to determine construct validity, discriminant validity and intra- and interrater reliability of the Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES).

Description:

This study included children diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy. Children's upper extremity-selective motor controls were evaluated by video recording. Manual Ability Classification System and Taylor Hand Function Test were used to determine upper extremity functions

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Selective Control of the Extremity Scale	SCUES administration required patients to perform specific isolated movement patterns at the shoulder (abduction/adduction), elbow (flexion/extension), forearm (supination/pronation), wrist (flexion/extension), and fingers/ thumb (grasp/release). Presence of mirror movements, movement of additional joints and motion less than available ROM are graded for movement at each joint level. Motion at each of the five joint levels is graded on a four-point scale: no SMC, moderately diminished SMC, mildly diminished SMC, and normal SMC.	10 minutes
Secondary	Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test	The JTT measures movement, speed and manual dexterity. The subtests to assess hand function included turning over cards, simulated feeding, picking up small common objects, stacking checkers, picking up large objects, and picking up large heavy objects. Each task completion time was limited to 2 minutes.	20 minutes
