Turkish Adaptation of Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control Scale

Completed

• Conditions: Down Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT04657276
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

In infants with Down syndrome at risk in terms of neurosensory motor development retardation, the level of trunk control can determine the level of trunk control towards motor development in infants with down syndrome.

For this reason, the purpose of this study is to adapt the segmental assessment of trunk control scale to Turkish by evaluating the motor development in children with Down syndrome. It is the investigation of validity and reliability.

Detailed Description

Independent sitting of babies with Down syndrome is very important because sitting is the primary position on improving play activities. It is a known fact that late acquisition of sitting posture has negative effects on gross motor skills such as crawling and walking as well as fine motor skills. The extent to which trunk development affects the developmental stages of the child and his performance in motor behaviors and skills should be evaluated. At the same time, trunk control should be evaluated at various periods in order to determine early intervention and treatment strategies in babies with Down syndrome who are at risk for motor development.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88)	30 minutes	The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is an assessment tool designed and evaluated to measure changes in gross motor function over time or with intervention in children with cerebral palsy. tem scoring is the same for the GMFM-88. There is a scoring system with each item scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, or "not tested". A scoring key of 0 - does not initiate, 1 - initiates, 2 - partially completes, and 3 - completed, is used. High total score represents good development.
Segmental Assesment of Trunk Control	20 minutes	It is an evaluation method that allows to evaluate the body control as static, active and reactive control, according to the body control levels. Examines the development of trunk control from level 1 (head control) and level 7 (full trunk control).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-PedsQL	15 minutes	PedsQL ™ Infant Scale; On the PedsQL Generic Core Scales, for ease of interpretability, items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, so that higher scores indicate better HRQOL
Alberta Infant Motor Scale	20 minutes	Alberta Infant Motor Scale The total raw score is the sum of the scores for the four positions, which can range between 0 to 58; higher scores indicate better motor development. The total raw score is converted to an age-based percentile rank, varying from 5 to 90% for comparison norms
