简要总结
This is a non-invasive prospective study investigating the effects of balance discs with different surfaces used in balance education in children with cerebral palsy on proprioceptive sense and balance.
详细描述
Many methods are used for balance training. One of them is balance discs. Balance discs consist of smooth and rough surfaces. Balance training is given to children with cerebral palsy on these two surfaces. Thanks to its balance disc structure, it plays an active role in the development of balance, but there is a need for evidence about whether rough or smooth surfaces and training have superiority over each other. Knowing the difference between the two surfaces will help the staff about which surface to use in the treatment and will be beneficial for the children.
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference between a rough and smooth surface in terms of improving proprioceptive sense and balance.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Proprioceptive sensory test:
时间窗: baseline and week 10
Active and passive repositioning test will be used to evaluate ankle proprioceptive sensation. Passive repositioning: The person to be tested is asked to learn that position by positioning the joint at a certain angle. Then, while the joint is moved passively, the person is asked to stop the movement when it reaches the previously learned position. The numerical difference between the angle found by the person and the angle taught before is evaluated. Active repositioning: The person is asked to find the position taught to the person by moving their extremity, and the numerical difference is determined.Change will be evaluated.
Change in Pediatric Berg balance test:
时间窗: baseline and week 10
The Pediatric Berg Balance Test is a modified version of the Berg Balance Test used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children.Patients are evaluated out of 56 points, with the highest score being 56. Change will be evaluated
Change in Functional reach test
时间窗: baseline and week 10
The Functional Reach Test is a clinical outcome measurement and assessment tool to detect dynamic balance in a single simple task. While standing, it measures the distance between the length of an extended arm at maximum forward reach while maintaining a stable base of support.Change will be evaluated.
Change in One-leg standing test
时间窗: baseline and week 10
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.
