Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor imagery capacity and functional mobility, walking and balance in children with diplegic type cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be conducted using a cross-sectional and correlational screening model to examine the relationship between motor imagery ability and functional mobility, walking, and balance in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Data collection will be conducted through one-on-one assessments after obtaining written consent from volunteer participants and their families. The data collection tools used in the study are listed below: Demographic Information Form, Motor Imagery Ability Assessment, Mental Stopwatch Paradigm, Functional Mobility, and Gait Assessment.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Motor Imagery Ability Assessment

Laterality Task (Choice Task): Implicit Motor Imagery capacity will be measured through a laterality task, which involves deciding which side a limb belongs to. Right-left discrimination of the foot will be assessed using the "Recognize Foot" application developed by the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute

Intervention Type OTHER

Mental Stopwatch Paradigm

A mental stopwatch will be used to assess explicit MI capacity. This paradigm compares the time between the actual movement duration and the duration of a similar imagined task.

Intervention Type OTHER

Functional Mobility

Functional Mobility: Functional Mobility will be assessed using the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) and the Timed Up and Go test.

Intervention Type OTHER

Gait assessment:

Gait assessment: The Gillette FDA is a self- or observer-based assessment tool.

Intervention Type OTHER
