Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare motor functions and quality of life of the children, and anxiety and depression levels of caregivers according to feeding type of children with cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gross motor Function Measurement

  The Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) is an observational clinical tool to evaluate motor function of children with CP. It has five basic sections that evaluate motor function in detail, including lying and rolling; sitting; crawling and kneeling; standing; and walking, running, and jumping, with a total of 88 items. Each evaluation is scored according to the level of achieving gross motor function without considering the quality of movement. While children performing each task in the GMFM, a physiotherapist scored each evaluation on a Likert scale between 0 to 3, of which 0 means 'Does not initiate' and 3 means 'Completes'.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Gross Motor Function Classification System

  2 months

• Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory

  2 months

• The Turkish version of the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory
