Brief Summary

Cerebral Palsy (CP), is the most common cause of physical disability that begins in childhood and lasts throughout life, affecting 1 in 500 newborns, with an estimated prevalence of 17 million worldwide. Social isolation, economic conditions, interruption of treatments, etc. may cause physical, mental, behavioral and psychosocial changes in children with cerebral palsy. Discontinuing regular physiotherapy can worsen functional skills and cause complications in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim in this study is to investigate the sustainability of the treatments of children with cerebral palsy during the pandemic period, their physical and psychosocial effects, and the relationship between their parents' fear of covid-19.
