Turkish Version of Hand-Use-at-Home Questionnaire

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of parent-rated Hand-Use-at- Home questionnaire (HUH) in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy or unilateral cerebral palsy.

Clinical Trial Description

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is defined as a permanent but non-progressive disorder group that affects the developing fetal or infantile brain, leading to impairment in movement and posture, thereby limiting physical activity and participation. The prevalence of CP in society is around 0.21%. In a study conducted in Turkey, this ratio of 4.4 / 1000 live births has been reported. Motor disorders in CP often are accompanied by sensory, perceptual, cognitive, communicative and behavioral problems and secondary musculoskeletal problems. Obstetric brachial plexus (OBP) injury is a common peripheral nerve injury in children. Its incidence is reported between 0.42 and 5.1 per 1000 live births. As the primary mechanism of injury, it is accepted that traction or compression of all or part of the brachial plexus. In these patients, weakness in the upper extremity, long-term contractures, and difficulties in the use of the extremities occurs due to the damage of nerves. In both diseases, patients have difficulty in bimanual activities. Many treatment methods focus on increasing the use of upper extremities of patients and ensuring their independence in daily life activities. There are many methods for evaluating the hand use performance of patients and the effectiveness of different treatment methods. However, these clinical evaluation methods often do not reflect the patient's performance at home, at school, in their daily living environments. The "Hand Use at Home (HUH)" questionnaire, which was created to be evaluated by parents, was developed in 2017 for measuring and evaluating the spontaneous use time of unilateral paretic children aged 3-10 in the affected hand and arm daily life activities. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined in children with obstetric brachial plexus paralysis and unilateral SP. The purpose of this study; The translation of the HUH questionnaire into Turkish is to investigate its cultural adaptation, validity, and test-retest reliability. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
