简要总结
The aim of this cross-sectional clinical study is to evaluate the frequency of falls in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy and compare it with healthy controls.
详细描述
Our study is designed as a cross-sectional controlled study. A total of 23 children aged 5-12 years diagnosed with cerebral palsy, who can ambulate indoors or in the community either independently or with assistive devices, and 23 healthy children of the same age range will be included. Data will be collected on the age of the patients and healthy volunteers, information about their caregivers, frequency of falls, location and time of falls, education level, type of mobilization, presence of additional conditions, whether they receive rehabilitation, frequency of rehabilitation, duration of hospitalization if applicable, occurrence of falls during hospitalization, and presence of injuries. The collected data will be compared with the healthy controls.

This study aims to assess presence of falls)in children with cerebral palsy and compare it to healthy controls. By examining factors such as fall location, timing, injury occurrence, and rehabilitation status, the study seeks to identify specific fall risks and patterns in children with cerebral palsy.
