Condition

Cerebral Palsy

Cataplexy

Treatment

Hand-10 questionnaire and ABILHAND-kids questionnaire

Clinical Study ID

NCT06887530
Hand-10 Questionnaire
  • Ages 6-15
  • All Genders

Study Summary

A Turkish version of the Hand-10 (unabbreviated) questionnaire has been developed, but its validity and reliability in cerebral palsy has not yet been proven. In particular, questioning daily life activities with visual content can make a significant contribution to evaluating hand functions and independence. Therefore, the aim of this planned study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Hand-10 questionnaire in cerebral palsy.

Study Description

The Hand-10 questionnaire was developed to evaluate upper extremity problems. It is a clear, short, and visual questionnaire that the individual fills out on their own. It includes shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand functions. The developers of the questionnaire stated that it can be easily applied to children due to its visual explanations. Pictorial materials make the survey more understandable for the elderly and children. Visual content makes participation more enjoyable, especially for children. Due to its visual content, Hand10 has been proven to be applicable to the elderly and children. For its high accuracy, it is recommended to analyze its validity in specific diseases in previous studies. However, there are only two studies to date that have shown its validity for patients with lateral epicondylitis and trigger finger. Due to its clarity and visuals, it can make a significant contribution to the assessment methods used especially in children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, investigating its validity and reliability in children with cerebral palsy can provide support to the literature and professionals working in this field.
