• Registration Number: NCT05184244
• Lead Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University

Brief Summary

This study aimed to make the Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP and to examine its psychometric properties. Eighty-nine individuals with CP, aged between 2-18 years were included in the study.

Detailed Description

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a clinical picture with permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture whether assessing activity limitations matters. This study aimed to make the Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP and to examine its psychometric properties.

The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha value and the inter-measurement reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). In construct validity analysis; ACTIVLIM-CP score; was correlated with PEDİ, ABILOCO-Kids, and ABILHAND-Kids scores and Wee-FIM total scores. A known group comparison was made according to ambulation and epilepsy existence with the Principal Components Explanatory Factor Analysis.
