What this trial studies

This observational, cross-cultural study will translate the ABILHAND-Kids Young CP scale into Turkish and adapt it culturally for Turkish-speaking children with cerebral palsy. The process follows standard guidelines, including forward translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Construct validity and reliability will be examined using appropriate statistical methods to ensure the instrument is accurate and consistent for pediatric use in Turkey.
