Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate implicit and explicit motor imagery skills in children with spastic cerebral palsy and typically developing children. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- There is a difference between the implicit motor imagery skills of children with bilateral and unilateral CP.
- There is a difference between the explicit motor imagery skills of children with bilateral and unilateral CP.
- There is a difference between the implicit motor imagery skills of children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children.
- There is a difference between the explicit motor imagery skills of children with cerebral palsy and typically developing children.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Explicit motor imagery -1
Box and block test,Participants were first asked to pass the maximum number of wooden blocks to the other side of the wooden box in 60 seconds, three times for each hand. The actual number of movement blocks was obtained by calculating the average of 3 applications. Then, each participant was asked to visually pass the maximum number of wooden blocks to the other side of the wooden box without moving, three times for both hands. While visualizing, the participants pressed the button in front of them for each wooden block they placed, thus the number of wooden blocks they imagined passing to the other side was seen. The number of imaged movement blocks was obtained by taking the average of 3 applications. The number of wooden blocks passed with actual movement and imagined movement was compared.

Study Arms (3)
Unilateral cerebral palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders in activity limitation, motor and posture development due to non-progressive damage to the developing fetus or infant brain. In spastic unilateral CP, involvement occurs unilaterally in one half of the body.
Bilateral cerebral palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders in activity limitation, motor and posture development due to non-progressive damage to the developing fetus or infant brain. In spastic bilateral CP, involvement is seen bilaterally in all 4 extremities.
Typically developing children
Children with typical development are children who behave in accordance with the developmental level expected for their age.
Interventions
Implicit motor imagery is the ability to engage with the projection and manipulation of the body schema from a first-person perspective. Implicit motor imagery skills were evaluated Recognize App Recognize Hand Hand Laterality Task with, developed by NOI group. (http://www.noigroup.com/ Recognise).
In explicit motor imagery, the person simulates a specific motor movement, that is, the individual is aware that she is imagining the movement.Explicit motor imagery skills were evaluated with Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children (MIQ-C), mental chronometry and box block test.
Eligibility Criteria
This study included between the ages 6 and 18 years 10 children with unilateral and bilateral cerebral palsy with level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) and 10 typically developing children.
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosed with spastic type CP between the ages of 6-18
- Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFSS) level 1- 2
- Manual Dexterity Classification System (EBSS) level 1-2
- Having at least 24 points from the Mini-Mental test for children,
- Having an IQ \> 70,
- To be able to understand the instructions of the study.
You may not qualify if:
- Having severe vision, hearing or attention problems,
- Having advanced cardiovascular or cognitive problems,
- Not being able to follow work instructions,
- Having had upper extremity surgery within the last 6 months,
- Having received MI training in the last 6 months.
