Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by many problems related to brain damage. One of these is sensory impairment. Sensory impairments in CP patients can also occur together with motor functions. Detecting sensory impairments (two-point discrimination, vibration, joint position sense, thermal sensation, stereognosis, graphesthesia) in the arm, forearm, and hand (upper extremity) in CP patients and investigating their relationship with motor functions is important. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between upper extremity sensory impairments and motor functions in patients diagnosed with unilateral (affecting one half of the body) CP.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
