[Purpose] To evaluate the results of Bobath-based rehabilitation performed at a pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) inpatient clinic. [Subjects and Methods] The study subjects were 28 children with CP who were inpatients at a pediatric service. Inclusion criteria were: being an inpatient of our hospital aged 2–12 with a diagnosis of CP; having one permanent primary caregiver; and the caregiver having no medical or psychotic problems. All of the patients received Bobath treatment for 1 hour per day, 5 days a week. The locomotor system, neurologic and orthopedic examination, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) of the patients, and Short Form-36 (SF-36) of permanent caregivers were evaluated at the time of admission to hospital, discharge from hospital, and at 1 and 3 months after discharge. [Results] Post-admission scores of GMFM at discharge, and 1 and 3 months later showed significant increase. Social function and emotional role subscores of SF-36 had increased significantly at discharge. [Conclusion] Bobath treatment is promising and randomized controlled further studies are needed for rehabilitation technics.

Abstract. [Purpose] To examine the distribution of and relationship between the Gross Motor Function, Manual Ability, and Communication Function Classification Systems in different limbs of children with spastic cerebral palsy. We also investigated whether the four predicting variables of gender, age, manual ability, and gross motor classifications could significantly predict effective and non-effective communicator groups in communication function. [Subjects and Methods] This retrospective cross-sectional study included 327 children with a mean age of 10.13 ± 4.09 years. Classifications were performed by an experienced pediatric physiotherapist.[Results] Gross motor function levels showed a strong correlation with manual ability levels (r s =0.78). Manual ability level was strongly correlated with communication function levels (r s =0.73), particularly in quadriplegic children (r s = 0.78). Gross motor function levels were moderately correlated with communication function levels (r s =0.71). Effective communicators in communication function showed more functional levels of manual ability and were determined by Gross Motor Function classifications. The variables were better at predicting ineffective communicators (91% correct) compared with effective communicators (85% correct). [Conclusion] Further studies are needed to relate these functional performance systems to the activity and participation levels as well as the quality of life, desires, and participation of the subjects.

Serebral palsi (SP) gelişmekte olan fetal veya infant beyninde oluşan progresif olmayan bir hasara bağlı olarak oluşan, aktivitenin kısıtlanmasına neden olan, hareket ve postür gelişiminin bir grup kalıcı bozukluğudur [1]. SP, gelişmiş ülkelerde erken okul çağındaki çocuklarda 1000 canlı doğumda 1.2-2.5 sıklığında, Türkiye'de ise 2-16 yaş grubu çocuklarda 1000 canlı doğumda 4.4 olarak bildirilmiştir. [2]. Prematürelerde ve düşük doğum ağırlığı olanlarda sıklığı artmaktadır [3]. Genellikle motor bozukluk ön planda olmakla birlikte serebral fonksiyon bozukluğu gösteren diğer semptomlar da görülebilir.
