Relationship Between Trunk Control and Hand Function and Quality of Life

January 11, 2022 updated by: KTO Karatay University

The Trunk Control Which is Fundamental in Hemiparetic and Diparetic Cerebral Palsied Children: Its Relationship With Hand Function and Quality of Life

Increasing quality of life and improving hand functions are very substantial treatment goals for physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Trunk control is important for these parameters in children with hemiparetic and diparetic Cerebral Palsy.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Trunk control, hanf function and quality of life measurements were carried out by a physiotherapist using the Trunk Control Measurement Scale, 9-Hole Peg Test and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Participants were informed about the procedure of the tests. The evaluation period lasted 30-40 minutes for each child.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
