Brief Summary

Although spasticity, contractures and muscle weakness in children with CP are disorders that can be observed more easily and are more focused and given more importance in evaluation and treatment approaches; Inadequate or loss of selective motor control negatively affects motor functions to a greater extent. It is very important to reveal the causes and consequences of selective motor disability in children with spastic cerebral palsy, in terms of creating effective treatment plans. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 100. The study will be carried out in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Research and Application Hospital, Department of Pediatrics. In our study, demographic information will be filled in, and lower extremity selective control assessment scale (SCALE) for lower extremity, upper extremity selective control scale (SCUES) for upper extremity, and sensory assessment (touch, two-point discrimination and proprioceptive sensory assessment) will be performed on the patients who accepted the study.
