Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the sitting posture, sitting balance and upper extremity functions of children with Spina Bifida (SB). Methods: Thirty-one children with SB, and aged 5-18 years, were included the study. Their physical and clinical characteristics were recorded. Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM), Pedalo® Balance Measurement System, Sitting Assessment for Children with Neuromotor Dysfunction (SACND), Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT) were used. Results: There was a significant correlation between JTHFT results and the other test results, i.e. Pedalo® (r = -0.478, p=0.007), SACND (r=0.399, p=0.026) and MFRT (r = -0.598, p
Özet
Amaç: Spina Bifida (SB)’lı çocukların oturma postürü, oturma dengesi ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 5-18 yaş arası 31 SB'li çocuk dahil edildi. Fiziksel ve klinik özellikler kaydedildi. Oturarak Postüral Kontrol Ölçümü (SPCM), Pedalo® Denge Ölçüm Sistemi, Nöromotor Disfonksiyonlu Çocuklarda Oturma Değerlendirme (SACND), Modifiye Fonksiyonel Uzanma Testi (MFRT) ve Jebsen-Taylor El Fonksiyon Testi (JTHFT) kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Pedalo (r =-0,478; p=0,007), SACND (r = 0,399; p = 0,026) ve MFRT (r =-0,598; p
