Turkish Adaptation of the Activity Limitations in Cerebral Palsy Questionnaire

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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.

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.

-----------------
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 |
