Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Parents' Quality of Life
Time Frame: 36 week
Parents' self-reported quality of life functions such as physical, emotional, social, and cognitive were assessed with The PedsQL Family Impact Module. Total score range is 0-100. Higher scores on the scale indicate less anxiety.
Gross Motor Function Level
Time Frame: 36 week
Gross motor function level was measured with Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66). GMFM-66 is a 66-item test developed to measure gross motor skills in children with cerebral palsy and can be evaluated in 5 different categories, including reaching and rolling, sitting, crawling and crawling, standing, walking, running and jumping. It is a 4-point Likert type scale. Higher scores on the test indicate higher gross motor skills.
Secondary Outcomes
- Gross Motor Function Classification(36 week)
- Sociodemographic Form(36 week)
