研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of the study is to contribute to the rehabilitation program by comparing the effects of traditional rehabilitation methods and aquatherapy given in addition to these methods in patients with cerebral palsy. If the superiority of the rehabilitation program including aquatherapy is demonstrated, evidence will be provided for its more widespread use.
详细描述
The participants will be divided into two groups as the study group and the control group. The study group will receive an aquatherapy rehabilitation program in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program, while the control group will only receive the conventional rehabilitation program.

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)
时间窗: baseline, after 1 month and 3 month changes.
MAS 0: No increase in tone MAS 1: Minimal resistance or a catch and release at the end of the range of motion MAS 1+: Slight increase in tone, with minimal resistance felt in less than half of the range of motion MAS 2: Increased tone throughout most of the range of motion, but the joint can be easily moved MAS 3: Marked increase in tone, making passive movement difficult MAS 4: Rigidity in flexion or extension of the affected part
Gross Motor Function Measurement
时间窗: baseline, after 1 month and 3 month changes.
The Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) is an assessment method used to determine the motor development level of children with cerebral palsy. Its purpose is to measure not just the quality of motor performance, but rather how much of the movement the child has accomplished.
次要结局
- Pediatric Balance Scale(baseline, after 1 month and 3 month changes.)
- The Functional Reach Test(baseline, after 1 month and 3 month changes.)
