The Efficacy of Derotation Banding on Outcome Measures in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cerebral Palsy, Spastic
Interventions
Other: Kinesio Taping
Other: Conventional Rehabilitation
Registration Number
NCT05251519
Lead Sponsor
Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the conventional rehabilitation program and derotation taping applied with Kinesio Tex tape in addition to conventional rehabilitation in children with hemiplegic or monoplegic cerebral palsy with femoral internal rotation deformity.

Detailed Description

Conventional rehabilitation (CR) practices will be applied to the control group. Conventional rehabilitation (KT) application will be applied to the study group in addition to Kinesio Tex tape derotation banding. With the kinesio tape application, it is aimed to provide economical, ergonomic and effective support to the patients in non-clinical times. It is aimed to evaluate the patients' balance, quality of life, performance test, spasticity level and gait quality.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EVGSChange from Baseline EVGS at 3 days

EVGS was developed to evaluate gait in children with CP using video recordings. It includes 17 variables, and each of these variables can be scored as 0, 1, or 2 based on movement deviation from normal. enced measure and examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks. EVGS is scored between 0 to 34. Higher scores indicate worse gait function.

PBBTChange from Baseline PBBT at 3 days

PBBT is a 14-item, criterion-referenced measure and examines functional balance in the context of everyday tasks. PBBT is scored between 0 to 56. Higher scores indicate better function.

MASChange from Baseline MAS at 3 days

The Modified Ashworth Scale is a 6-point rating scale for gauging muscle resistance to passive movement. MAS is scored from 0 to 4, where lower scores represent normal muscle tone and higher scores represent spasticity.

KINDLChange from Baseline KINDL at 3 days

The KINDL was derived from a conceptual model, in which the four main components of quality of life, namely psychological well-being, social relationships, physical function and everyday life activities, were included in interviews with children. KINDL is scored between 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

6MWTChange from Baseline 6MWT at 3 days

The 6-meter course was mapped as 10 meters in length with a 2-meter acceleration interval and a 6-meter testing interval. There is no scoring range for the 6MWT.
