Exclusion Criteria:
Gross Motor Function Level
Gross motor function level was measured with Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66). GMFM-66 is a 66-item test developed to measure gross motor skills in children with cerebral palsy and can be evaluated in 5 different categories, including reaching and rolling, sitting, crawling and crawling, standing, walking, running and jumping. It is a 4-point Likert type scale. Higher scores on the test indicate higher gross motor skills.
Time frame: 36 week
Parents' Quality of Life
Parents' self-reported quality of life functions such as physical, emotional, social, and cognitive were assessed with The PedsQL Family Impact Module. Total score range is 0-100. Higher scores on the scale indicate less anxiety.
Time frame: 36 week
Gross Motor Function Classification
Gross motor functional classification was evaluated with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). GMFCS classifies children with Cerebral Palsy into 5 levels (1-5) based on their motor skills, functional abilities, assistive technologies, and wheelchair needs.
Time frame: 36 week
Sociodemographic Form
Characteristic information about the family, such as the family's average monthly income, the number of people living in the family, and the region in which the family lived, was collected.
