About this study

In the study we planned, 42 individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy will be divided into 2 groups according to age groups. Individuals aged 4-11 will be included in the child group, and individuals aged 12-18 will be included in the adolescent group. Individuals with cerebral palsy in the child and adolescent group will also be randomized and divided into treatment and control groups. In addition to the conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches, video-based virtual reality games will be played for a total of 10 weeks for treatment groups in both age groups. The patients will be followed up with a video-based game application for an average of 20 minutes, after the physiotherapy and rehabilitation application, which consists of an average of 45 minutes, twice a week. Individuals in the control group in both age groups will be followed for 10 weeks with conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches.

The entire sample will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 10th week. Our main aim in the study is to compare the effects of video-based games applied in different age groups on balance, trunk proprioception, motivation and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

A total of 42 patients with cerebral palsy who agreed to participate in the study, 22 patients between the ages of 4-11 and 22 patients between the ages of 12-18, will be included. Parents of the patients will be informed about the study.

42 individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy will be divided into 2 groups according to age groups. Individuals aged 4-11 will be included in the child group, and individuals aged 12-18 will be included in the adolescent group. Individuals with cerebral palsy in the child and adolescent group will also be randomized within themselves and divided into treatment and control groups. In addition to conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches, video-based virtual reality games will be played for a total of 10 weeks for treatment groups in both age groups. The patients will be followed up with an average of 20 minutes of video-based games, after the physiotherapy and rehabilitation application, consisting of an average of 45 minutes, twice a week. Individuals in the control group in both age groups will be followed for 10 weeks with conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches.

A treatment plan will be created for the entire sample group according to neurodevelopmental treatment approaches. In the content of the treatment plan; In order to regulate muscle tone and increase sensory input, intramuscular stretching and soft tissue mobilization, exercises that improve protective, balance and correction reactions, and support the development of postural control will be included. In addition, studies aimed at ensuring proper posture and increasing body awareness during standing without support, facilitation of trunk extension will be carried out. For the development of postural control in the same position, facilitation of trunk elongation and weight transfer to the affected and less affected side will be emphasized. Exercises will be performed on stepping and descending from the affected and less-affected side. Supported with appropriate hand grips, forward jumping with two feet, one foot, and weight transfer on one foot will be carried out.

In the evaluation of the patient, the pediatric motivation scale, balance, trunk proprioceptive sense and quality of life will be evaluated at the 1st and 10th weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. One Leg Standing Test

    The one-leg stance test is a test in which the time to stand on balance is measured on the right and left extremities of the patient, and evaluates the static balance. Change will be evaluated.

    Measured: beginning and week 10

  2. Caliper Clinometer

    Caliper inclinometer is a phone protractor application used to measure angle changes in the relevant region. In the evaluation of trunk proprioception, the person is in a sitting position with the back unsupported and the feet not touching the ground, while the arms are positioned crossed on the trunk. Change will be evaluated

    Measured: beginning and week 10

  3. Pediatric Motivation Scale

    The scale consists of 21 items divided into 6 subsections (effort-importance, interest-pleasure, competence, relationship, autonomy, value-benefit) and enables the evaluation of the child's motivation towards the rehabilitation program from her own perspective.The total score is 119. The higher the score, the higher the motivation. Change will be evaluated.

    Measured: beginning and week 10

  4. Pediatric quality of life questionere pedsQL for Children

    The Children's Quality of Life Scale was developed to measure the quality of life of children and adolescents aged 2-18.It is scored between 0-100, with the highest score being 100. Change will be evaluated

    Measured: beginning and week 10

What does the primary outcome measure?

One Leg Standing Test (time frame: beginning and week 10). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
