Brief Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP), which is the largest group of patients among pediatric neuromuscular diseases, is a non-progressive permanent disorder that affects muscle control, movement, posture and balance. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP.Children with CP were included in the study according to the following criteria; aged 5-12 years, diagnosed as spastic diplegia or hemiplegia , having a level of "I, II, III" according to GMFCS. Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. Trunk control was evaluated with Trunk Control Measurement Scale,Motor performance of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88. ICC values for photographic posture analysis was found to be highly reliable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Photographic Posture Analysis

  Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. All measurements were made by two researchers experienced in postural analysis evaluation. Canon camera and national geographic tripod with double spirit level were used for evaluation Six photographs of each child whose feet on the ground, in a free-sitting position, 3 from the front and 3 sides were taken by the researchers

  45-60 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS)

  30-40 minutes

• Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88)

  30-45 minutes

Interventions

Photographic Posture Analysis OTHER

Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. All measurements were made by two researchers experienced in postural analysis evaluation. Canon camera and national geographic tripod with double spirit level were used for evaluation. The camera was placed on a 115 cm high tripod, 1.5 m away from the subjects. Spirit levels have been adjusted so that the tripod is completely flat on the ground. The tripod was taped to the floor to maintain the same distance between the camera and the participants. Six photographs of each child whose feet on the ground, in a free-sitting position, 3 from the front and 3 sides were taken by the researchers.
