Abstract

Objective: TThis study was carried out to examine the effects of staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the functional capacity and balance of children with hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (CP). Material and Method: Thirty-seven children with hemiparetic CP, aged 7-14 years, , were included in the study. Evaluations were conducted on the online video conferencing with one month intervals during the full closure period. After the first evaluation, a second evaluation was conducted following one month of no treatment. 10 meters walking test, dynamic timed get up and go test, stand on one leg test, sit and stand from chair test were used in the evaluation. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the completion times of the Timed Up and Go test in patients with hemiparetic CP between the first and second evaluations (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the 10-meter walking test times and the Sit-Up from Chair test times in the first and second evaluations (p<0.05). The difference observed in the 10-meter walking test was found to be of minimal clinical significance. There was a statistically significant difference between the results of the single-leg stance test on the affected side (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that during the one-month period when children with CP could not receive physiotherapy and rehabilitation due to the staying at home period in the COVID-19 pandemic, their walking speed was adversely affected, and there was a tendency for deterioration in balance and functional capacity. These results showed that not receiving rehabilitation support even for a short time period in children with hemiparetic CP will lead to negative effects.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma COVID-19 pandemisi nedeniyle evde kalış döneminin Hemiparetik Serebral Palsili (SP) çocukların fonksiyonel kapasite ve dengesi üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma yayaşları 7-14 arası değişen 37 hemiparetik SP’li çocuk dahil edildi. Değerlendirmeler bir videokonferans platformu üzerinden tam kapanma döneminde 1 ay arayla yapıldı. Birinci değerlendirme yapıldıktan sonra bir aylık tedavi almadığı sürenin ardından ikinci değerlendirme yapıldı. Değerlendirmede 10 metre yürüme testi, dinamik zamanlı kalk ve yürü testi, tek bacak üzerinde durma testi, sandalyeden otur kalk testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Birinci ve ikinci değerlendirme arasında hemiparetik SP’li olguların Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü testini tamamlama süreleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmadı (p>0,05). Olguların 10 metre yürüme testi süreleri ve sandalyeden otur kalk testi süreleri arasında birinci ve ikinci değerlendirmelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı (p<0,05). 10 metre yürüme testinde gözlenen fark minimal klinik anlamlılık düzeyinde bulundu. Olguların etkilenmiş tarafta tek bacak üzerinde durma testi sonuçları arasında istatistiksek olarak anlamlı bir fark vardı (p<0,05). Sonuç: SP’li çocukların, COVID-19 pandemisinde evde kalış dönemi nedeniyle fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon alamadıkları 1 aylık sürede özellikle yürüme hızlarının olumsuz etkilendiği, denge ve fonksiyonel kapasitelerinde ise bozulma eğilimi olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar hemiparetik SP’li çocukların kısa bir dönem dahi rehabilitasyon desteği almamasının olumsuz etkilere yol açacağını göstermiştir.
