Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study was to determine upper extremity selective motor control (SMC) in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP). It was also aimed to determine the relationship between upper extremity SMC and upper extremity functions in unilateral CP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Twenty-four unilateral CP participated in the study between the ages of 6 and 18 years. Children's manual skills classified with MACS. To assess the quality of the upper extremity, the Quality of Upper Extremity Skill Test (QUEST) which assessed four areas including dissociated movement, grasp, weight bearing and protective extension, was used. Upper extremity functions were assessed using the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test (JTT). The Selective Control of Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES) was used to evaluate the selective movements of the upper extremity. The SCUES evaluates the movement of the trunk during the upper limb movements and mirror movements via video recording.
