What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Hand-10 questionnaire, specifically designed to evaluate upper extremity problems in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The questionnaire utilizes visual content to enhance understanding and engagement, making it suitable for children aged 6-15. Participants will complete the Hand-10 questionnaire alongside the ABILHAND-kids questionnaire to provide a comprehensive evaluation of hand functions. The study seeks to contribute valuable insights to the literature and improve assessment methods for this population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 6-15 diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy who can understand assessment instructions and have reading skills.
Not a fit: Patients with unrelated health issues, neglect of the affected extremity, serious visual problems, or those who have undergone recent surgeries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the evaluation of hand functions in children with cerebral palsy, leading to better tailored interventions.
How similar studies have performed: While the Hand-10 questionnaire has shown validity in other conditions, this specific application in children with cerebral palsy is novel and untested.
