Brief Summary

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

In spastic cerebral palsy, there are interrelated neuromuscular deficits that can affect ankle joint control, including impaired selective voluntary motor control, muscle weakness, spasticity, and shortened muscle-tendon units. As a result, it is important to assess ankle joint control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Clinicians need valid, reliable, and practical methods to assess ankle joint control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Foot-taping Test in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

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

Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that refers to a permanent group of movement, posture, and/or motor function disorders caused by a non-progressive lesion or abnormality in the developing immature brain. In spastic cerebral palsy, there are interrelated neuromuscular deficits that can affect ankle joint control, impaired selective voluntary motor control, muscle weakness, spasticity, and shortened muscle-tendon units. As a result, it is important to assess ankle joint control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Clinicians need valid, reliable, and practical methods to assess ankle joint control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Foot-taping Test in children with spastic cerebral palsy. This study will conduct Department of Orthopedic Prosthesis-Orthosis at Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Atatürk Health Services Vocational School. Children aged 6-18 with spastic cerebral palsy (diparetic and hemiparetic) from two different special education institutions in the Aegean Region will be included in the study.
