    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2019) Numanoglu Akbas, Ayşe; Kerem Gunel, Mintaze
    Objective: Theaim of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk training on the trunk,upper and lower limb motor functions of children with bilateral spasticCerebral Palsy. Methods: 36children were recruited for this study; 19children were included in the trunk training group and 17 children wereincluded in the control group. Motor functions ofthe children were assessed by the Trunk Control Measurement Scale, GrossMotor Function Measurement, Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, PediatricBalance Scale, Gillette Functional Assessment Scale, Functional IndependenceMeasure for Children and Impact on Family Scale at baseline and after an 8 weekof intervention period. WilcoxonSigned-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test were used to assess the differences. Results: TheTrunk Control Measurement Scale (p=0.008), Gross Motor Function Measurement(p=0.047), Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (p=0.032), Pediatric BalanceScale (p=0.006), Gillette Functional Assessment Scale (p=0.011) and FunctionalIndependence Measure for Children (p=0.03) scores improved in favor of thetrunk training group (p lt;0.05). Conclusion:Individually structured trunk training is a promising method to improve trunk,upper and lower extremity motor functions and activity levels of children withbilateral spastic Cerebral Palsy.
