Turkish Adaptation of the Activity Limitations in Cerebral Palsy Questionnaire

Investigation of the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Adaptation of the Activity Limitations in Cerebral Palsy Questionnaire

This study aimed to make the Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP and to examine its psychometric properties. Eighty-nine individuals with CP, aged between 2-18 years were included in the study. PEDİ, ABILOCO-Kids, and ABILHAND-Kids scores and Wee-FIM questionnaires were used for validity analysis. Test re-test method was used for reliability.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy; Activity, Motor; Limitation, Mobility
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Activity Limitation Assessment

Detailed Description

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a clinical picture with permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture whether assessing activity limitations matters. This study aimed to make the Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP and to examine its psychometric properties.

The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha value and the inter-measurement reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). In construct validity analysis; ACTIVLIM-CP score; was correlated with PEDİ, ABILOCO-Kids, and ABILHAND-Kids scores and Wee-FIM total scores. A known group comparison was made according to ambulation and epilepsy existence with the Principal Components Explanatory Factor Analysis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Global Activity Performance assessment	ACTIVLIM-CP: Caregiver rates the difficulty degree of 43 activities easy/difficult/impossible/unknown). Questionnaire scores between 0 and 86 points. A higher score shows better activity performance	15 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Gunctional capabilities and limitations	Gross Motor Function Classification System: It classifies the motor function of a child from level 1 (slightly affected) to level 5 (severely affected)	5 minutes
Functional independence measurement	Functional Independence Measure for Children: The scale includes 18 measurement items and every item scores between 1 -7. A higher score shows more independence	15 minutes
Child's ability to walk assessment	Abiloco-Kids: It consists of 10 questions for evaluating the walking performance from the viewpoint of the caregiver. Questionnaire scores between 0 and 20 points. A higher score shows better activity performance	10 minutes
child's manual ability assessment	Abilhand-Kids: It consists of 21 questions to measure the manual ability from the viewpoint of the family. Questionnaire scores between 0 and 42 points. A higher score shows better activity performance.	15 minutes
Functional assessment	Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI): It consists of three Functional Skills Scales, three Caregiver Assistance Scales, and three Modification Scales in the content areas of self-care, mobility, and social function. Functional Skills has 197 items and each item scores as 1(able) and 2(unable), Caregiver Assistance scores between 0(dependent) -5(independent) and Modifications assessing with frequencies .	20 minutes
