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

Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University32 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

6MWT

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.

Time frame: Change from Baseline 6MWT at 3 days

PBBT

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.

Time frame: Change from Baseline PBBT at 3 days

MAS

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.

Time frame: Change from Baseline MAS at 3 days

EVGS

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.

Time frame: Change from Baseline EVGS at 3 days

KINDL

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.

Time frame: Change from Baseline KINDL at 3 days
