ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a questionnaire called the Hand-10, which helps to assess hand functions in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to see if this Turkish version of the Hand-10 is a valid and reliable tool for understanding how well children with CP can use their hands in daily activities. By using pictures and questions, the researchers hope to get a clearer picture of each child's abilities and independence.

To participate, children need to be between 6 and 15 years old and have been diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy, meaning they have weakness on one side of their body. They should also be able to understand instructions and have basic reading skills. However, children with other serious health issues, those who don’t use the affected hand, or have had certain surgeries recently will not be eligible. Participants can expect to answer questions that will help researchers learn more about their hand functions and how they manage daily tasks. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it’s a great opportunity to contribute to research that could improve care for children with cerebral palsy.
