Brief Summary

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

In recent years, it is seen that dynamic compression garments are used to increase body stability and to provide tone regulation. Dynamic compression garments are used to apply pressure to specific muscles or muscle groups. Different studies have drawn attention to the effect of dynamic compression garments on postural control and proximal stability. Researchers observed that upper extremity functions and fine motor skills improved with the use of clothing, and they associated this with improved proximal stability. In light of this information, the aim of this study is; To investigate the effects of dynamic compression garments applied in addition to traditional treatment on posture, trunk control, and upper extremity functions during sitting in children with hemiparetic CP.

Detailed Description

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

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent neurodevelopmental disorders in the development of movement and posture, non-progressive, resulting in activity limitations, resulting from an injury to the developing brain. Children with CP who have problems in sensorimotor coordination due to decreased muscle strength and impaired sensory processing experience postural control problems. In hemiparetic CP, deterioration in the upper extremities affects children's daily living activities such as eating, dressing, undressing, combing hair, brushing teeth, self-care skills, functional independence, and quality of life. Since the trunk plays a very important role in postural control and extremity functions, providing trunk stability and thus effective use of the extremities is one of the important goals of physiotherapy.
