Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare motor functions and quality of life of the children, and anxiety and depression levels of caregivers according to feeding type of children with cerebral palsy.
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to compare motor functions and quality of life of the children, and anxiety and depression levels of caregivers according to feeding type of children with cerebral palsy. Children will be divided into two groups: children with oral feeding and children with non-oral feeding, according to Functional Oral Intake Scale. Gross Motor Function Classification System will be used for classify children according to gross motor function, Gross Motor Function Measurement will be used for evaluate gross motor functions, and parent-reported Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory will be used for evaluate quality of life of children. To measure caregivers' anxiety and depression levels will be assessed by using Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied according to the variables distribution. Through this analyses, determination of the difference between feeding type groups and other categorical and continuous variables will be decided.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gross motor Function Measurement
Time Frame: 2 months
The Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) is an observational clinical tool to evaluate motor function of children with CP. It has five basic sections that evaluate motor function in detail, including lying and rolling; sitting; crawling and kneeling; standing; and walking, running, and jumping, with a total of 88 items. Each evaluation is scored according to the level of achieving gross motor function without considering the quality of movement. While children performing each task in the GMFM, a physiotherapist scored each evaluation on a Likert scale between 0 to 3, of which 0 means 'Does not initiate' and 3 means 'Completes'.
Secondary Outcomes
- Gross Motor Function Classification System(2 months)
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory(2 months)
- The Turkish version of the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory(2 months)
