Clinical Trial Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP), which is the largest group of patients among pediatric neuromuscular diseases, is a non-progressive permanent disorder that affects muscle control, movement, posture and balance. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP.Children with CP were included in the study according to the following criteria; aged 5-12 years, diagnosed as spastic diplegia or hemiplegia , having a level of "I, II, III" according to GMFCS. Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. Trunk control was evaluated with Trunk Control Measurement Scale,Motor performance of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88. ICC values for photographic posture analysis was found to be highly reliable.


Clinical Trial Description

Sitting position is of great importance in the development of upper extremity functions, orthogonal functional skills, personal care, cognitive, perceptual and social skills in children with cerebral palsy and these kids spend most of their time in a sitting position.There are goniometer, inclinometer, flexicurve, spinal mouse, and modified head posture spinal curvature ınstrument tools for posture analysis in the sitting position.However, none of these measurement tools have been validated for validity and reliability studies of head and trunk posture measurement in the sitting position in children with CP. Methods such as magnetic resonance (MR) and x-ray used in posture evaluation provide clear images of reference points and are the gold standard in the literature. However, they are not preferred much because they are expensive and contain radiation.Photographic posture analysis can be considered as a measurement method such as posture analysis methods using the gravity line. It is a digital, more objective measurement method that measures linear distances and angles using anatomical reference points using specially designed software. Clinical use of photographic posture analysis is recommended in the literature, as it is an accurate and objective method, preventing radiation exposure.The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP. ;
