Detailed Description
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a clinical picture with permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture whether assessing activity limitations matters. This study aimed to make the Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP and to examine its psychometric properties.
The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha value and the inter-measurement reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). In construct validity analysis; ACTIVLIM-CP score; was correlated with PEDİ, ABILOCO-Kids, and ABILHAND-Kids scores and Wee-FIM total scores. A known group comparison was made according to ambulation and epilepsy existence with the Principal Components Explanatory Factor Analysis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Global Activity Performance assessment [15 minutes]
ACTIVLIM-CP: Caregiver rates the difficulty degree of 43 activities easy/difficult/impossible/unknown). Questionnaire scores between 0 and 86 points. A higher score shows better activity performance
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Gunctional capabilities and limitations [5 minutes]
Gross Motor Function Classification System: It classifies the motor function of a child from level 1 (slightly affected) to level 5 (severely affected)
- Functional independence measurement [15 minutes]
Functional Independence Measure for Children: The scale includes 18 measurement items and every item scores between 1 -7. A higher score shows more independence
- Child's ability to walk assessment [10 minutes]
Abiloco-Kids: It consists of 10 questions for evaluating the walking performance from the viewpoint of the caregiver. Questionnaire scores between 0 and 20 points. A higher score shows better activity performance
- child's manual ability assessment [15 minutes]
Abilhand-Kids: It consists of 21 questions to measure the manual ability from the viewpoint of the family. Questionnaire scores between 0 and 42 points. A higher score shows better activity performance.
- Functional assessment [20 minutes]
Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI): It consists of three Functional Skills Scales, three Caregiver Assistance Scales, and three Modification Scales in the content areas of self-care, mobility, and social function. Functional Skills has 197 items and each item scores as 1(able) and 2(unable), Caregiver Assistance scores between 0(dependent) -5(independent) and Modifications assessing with frequencies .
