BAKIMVEREN FONKSİYONEL KULLANIM ANKETİNİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONUNUN GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİĞİ

Purpose: Poor bimanual performance is usually a major functional impairment for children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). This study was performed to examine the reliability and validity of Turkish version Caregiver Functional Use Survey (CFUS), which assesses manual function CP.Methods: Fifty CP their parents were included in study. The test-retest assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), internal consistency by calculating Cronbach alpha values. Association level between other outcomes measures (Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test, JTT, Manual Ability Classification System, MACS) CFUS analyzed determine criterion validity. Four onefactorial confirmatory factor analyses validate uni-dimensionality performed. Confirmatory confirmed one-dimensional structure “amount use” and“quality movement” parts unimanual tasks.Results: showed high degree (Cronbach alpha=0.92-0.94). ICCs ranged 0.90 0.93. There negative correlation all subscales MACS JTT (p<0.05).Conclusion: reliable valid tool assessing upper extremity functions CP.
