Upper Extremity Sensation and Impact on Functional Use in Daily Activities in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Comparison With Typically Developing Peer
This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate upper extremity sensation in children with spastic cerebral palsy and to investigate its effect on upper extremity use in activities of daily living. Children aged 6-15 years with cerebral palsy (n=12) and typically developing peers (n=12) who volunteer to participate in the study will be included. Participants' sociodemographic data will be recorded, and upper extremity vibration sense, stereognosis, tactile sense, two-point discrimination, and joint position sense will be assessed. In the final stage, the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test will be administered, and parents will be asked to complete the Abilhand Kids Hand-Related Ability Scale.
