1, 2, 3 according to the Manual Ability Classification System Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy with a value of 0, 1, 1+, 2 on the Modified Ashworth Scale

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vibration and kinesiology tape applications applied to the affected side forearm extensor muscles on dexterity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description: Upper extremity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy significantly more affected than the lower extremities. Child mostly does not use the affected side and activity and weight uses the solid side in the overlay. in the upper extremity One of the muscles most affected by spasticity is the wrist and wrist. finger flexors. Secondary in antagonist of these muscles weakness develops and posture disorders occur. In this study The kinesiology tape, which has been increasingly used in recent years, affected by the application and local vibration application. hand with application to the lateral forearm extensor muscle group comparing their effects on their skills with the control group. aimed to evaluate. As a result of the study, this diagnosis hand skills of which application in children who are studying has a greater effect on and in which rehabilitation that the application should be preferred more It will be a guide for physiotherapists.
