Relationship Between Communication and Gross Motor Function in Quadriparetic Cerebral Palsy

Turkey (Türkiye)20 participantsStarted 2019-01-01

Plain-language summary

Communication problems are frequently encountered in quadriparetic cerebral palsy. Additionally, motor impairments often accompany this condition. Communication problems can also reduce the benefits gained from treatments, which in turn negatively affects individuals functional independence as motor impairments persist. In this study, the researchers aimed to examine the relationship between communication function, gross motor function and functional independence level.
