Study Description

Cerebral palsy; It is defined as a permanent, non-progressive disorder that occurs as a result of the effects of the developing fetal or infant brain for different reasons in prenatal, perinatal or postnatal periods. Children with cerebral palsy experience fundamental limitations in the postural control of static and dynamic tasks such as sitting, standing, and walking. However, children with cerebral palsy need rehabilitation. The COVID-19 pandemic prevents effective provision of rehabilitation services for children with cerebral palsy. However; Lack of access to rehabilitation services in individuals with cerebral palsy during the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for alternative and complementary methods. During the Covid-19 pandemic process, the tele-rehabilitation process will be able to achieve functional and social participation in children with cerebral palsy.
