About this trial
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor imagery capacity and functional mobility, walking and balance in children with diplegic type cerebral palsy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosed with diplegic CP by a neurologist or pediatric neurologist
Being between 5 and 18 years of age
Being between levels I and III on the GMFCS
Having the cognitive ability to follow the assessment instructions
Disqualifiers
Having severe impairments in basic sensory systems such as vision or hearing
Having additional diagnoses such as epilepsy or autism spectrum disorder
Demonstrating cognitive or behavioral problems that prevent them from following instructions during the assessment
Having informed consent from the child's family or the child

Treatments tested in this trial
Motor Imagery Ability Assessment
Other interventionLaterality Task (Choice Task): Implicit Motor Imagery capacity will be measured through a laterality task, which involves deciding which side a limb belongs to. Right-left discrimination of the foot will be assessed using the "Recognize Foot" application developed by the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute
Mental Stopwatch Paradigm
Other interventionA mental stopwatch will be used to assess explicit MI capacity. This paradigm compares the time between the actual movement duration and the duration of a similar imagined task.
Functional Mobility
Other interventionFunctional Mobility: Functional Mobility will be assessed using the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) and the Timed Up and Go test.
Gait assessment:
Other interventionGait assessment: The Gillette FDA is a self- or observer-based assessment tool.
