Brief Summary

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

A Turkish version of the Hand-10 (unabbreviated) questionnaire has been developed, but its validity and reliability in cerebral palsy has not yet been proven. In particular, questioning daily life activities with visual content can make a significant contribution to evaluating hand functions and independence. Therefore, the aim of this planned study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Hand-10 questionnaire in cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

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

The Hand-10 questionnaire was developed to evaluate upper extremity problems. It is a clear, short, and visual questionnaire that the individual fills out on their own. It includes shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand functions. The developers of the questionnaire stated that it can be easily applied to children due to its visual explanations. Pictorial materials make the survey more understandable for the elderly and children. Visual content makes participation more enjoyable, especially for children. Due to its visual content, Hand10 has been proven to be applicable to the elderly and children. For its high accuracy, it is recommended to analyze its validity in specific diseases in previous studies. However, there are only two studies to date that have shown its validity for patients with lateral epicondylitis and trigger finger. Due to its clarity and visuals, it can make a significant contribution to the assessment methods used especially in children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, investigating its validity and reliability in children with cerebral palsy can provide support to the literature and professionals working in this field.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Children between the ages of 6-15, diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy, with sufficient cognitive status to understand the evaluation commands and with reading skills will be included.

Hand-10 questionnaire and ABILHAND-kids questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

Children and their parents included in the study will be informed about the purpose of the study and the evaluations to be made and will be asked to sign a written consent form. The questions in the data collection form will be asked to individuals in a face-to-face interview. The manual skills classification system, Hand-10 questionnaire and ABILHAND-kids questionnaire will be used.

While validating the Hand10 questionnaire in children with cerebral palsy, it was planned to use the ABILHAND-kids scale, which has been previously validated for reliability and validity in cerebral palsy. It was also planned to use the hand function classification system in the evaluations. The Hand-10 questionnaire will be filled out by the child himself. The ABILHAND-kids questionnaire will be filled out by the parent. An expert will record the manuel ability system according to the hand skills.
