The aim is to compare pain, disability, spinal mobility, and quality of life in caregivers of children with Cerebral Palsy versus healthy children and determine predictors of low back disability.
Cross-sectional study design at Kırşehir Training and Research Hospital
162 caregivers assessed (83 of children with CP and 79 healthy children)
Measures included VAS for pain, ODI for disability, Spinal Mouse for spinal mobility, and NHP for quality of life.
Caregivers of children with CP reported higher pain levels and disability compared to healthy caregivers (exact figures not provided).
Significant predictors of low back disability were identified through Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.
Quality of life was notably lower in CP caregivers, emphasizing the impact of caregiving on health.
