Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) Questionnaire, in children with cerebral palsy (CP) with GMFCS level1, 2, and 3.

Detailed description: Most children with cerebral palsy (CP) can walk. Musculoskeletal disorders of these children cause deterioration in gait functions. Disruptions in gait limit children's participation. To minimize these impairments, various interventions are usually applied to children with CP who can walk. The ultimate goal of these interventions is to help these children achieve the best possible participation in activities of daily living. In addition, goal determination by children and families in treatment planning is important in terms of treatment success. The Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) is a scale developed to contribute to the determination of these goals. This questionnaire includes the priorities, expectations, and goals of children with CP who can walk and reveals their walking characteristics. The questionnaire is used in two languages, English and German, and there is no Turkish version of the questionnaire. Therefore, the aim of this study is to create the Turkish version of the 'Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)' family and child questionnaires and to examine its validity and reliability.
