About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Lower extremity constraint induced movement therapy has been applied to individuals with multiple sclerosis, stroke, subacute and chronic hemiparesis in recent years and positive results have been reported. However, there is no study in the literature regarding the application of this treatment method to the pediatric population. In order to address this gap in the literature, we planned to conduct this study to examine the possible effects of lower extremity constraint induced movement therapy on lower extremity functions, balance and gait parameters in individuals with cerebral palsy.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Constraint induced movement therapy groupExisting treatment, for comparison
Children in this group will receive constraint induced movement therapy in addition to conventional physical therapy twice a week.
Treatment: constraint induced movement therapy
- Control groupOther group
Children in this group will continue to receive their treatment twice a week at the special education and rehabilitation center where they are currently registered and attending.
Treatment: Control (Standard treatment)
