Video-game Based Therapy in Cerebral Palsy

Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

Assessing functional level and motor function. Gross motor functions of children with CP are classified in five levels with GMFCS. This is a classification system based on the child's self-initiated movements with emphasis on sitting, displacement and mobility.

Time frame: At Baseline

Manuel ability classification system (MACS)

This is a classification system based on the grasping and releasing objects in daily life, and how they use their hands while holding objects. It is classify the hand skills of children with CP between the ages of 4-18.Children with CP are classified in five levels with MACS. The higher level indicates worse hand function

Time frame: At Baseline

Change from Baseline ABILHAND-Kids at 8 weeks

Abilhand Kids evaluates manual ability in children with upper extremity disorders. It consists of 21 items and confirmed in CP. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 42. It can be stated that higher scores correspond to more difficulty in activities.

Time frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

Change from Baseline Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES) at 8 weeks

It is a practical and useful assessment tool developed to evaluate upper extremity selective motor control. The administration of the SCUES required patients to perform specific isolated movement patterns at various levels including: shoulder (abduction/adduction); elbow (flexion/extension); forearm (supination/pronation); wrist (flexion/extension); and fingers/thumb (grasp/release). The total score of the SCUES ranges between 0 and 15 and higher scores indicate better selective motor control.

Time frame: Change from Baseline at 8 weeks

Change from Baseline Clinometer at 8 weeks

Caliper clinometer (App Development) is a phone application used to measure angle changes in the relevant region. In the evaluation of shoulder and elbow proprioception change will be evaluated.
