Randomized trial demonstrates valid and reliable activity limitation measurements in children with CP, implying effective evaluation tools for rehabilitation.
PURPOSE: To translate the ACTIVLIM-CP questionnaire, developed to assess global activity performance in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), into Turkish and to investigate its psychometric properties. METHODS: Eighty-nine children with CP, aged between 2 and 18 years (mean age: 10.08 ± 4.94 years), were included in the study. Internal consistency was measured by Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent validity was evaluated through the pattern of correlations between the ACTIVLIM-CP with PEDI, ABILOCO-Kids, ABILHAND-Kids, and Wee-FIM scores. Known-group comparisons were made according to epilepsy existence and ambulation level measured by Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). CONCLUSION: The Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP is a valid and reliable scale for measuring activity limitations in children with CP and is compatible with other scales evaluating activity limitations. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT05184244IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONActivity limitation measurements are crucial and necessary to determine the global activity performance of children with CP.ACTIVLIM-CP was translated and culturally adapted to Turkish and showed good psychometric properties.ACTIVLIM-CP is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate activity performance in children with CP.
