Özet:

 Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different types of functional asymmetric hand involvements on upper extremity activity performance and functional independence in children with cerebral palsy CP. Method: In this retrospective study, 49 children with CP aged 3-12 years with different types of asymmetric functional hand involvements were analysed. Asymmetric hand function of the children was classified according to Bimanuel Fine Motor Function BFMF-2.0. Upper extremity activity performance and functional independence status were evaluated with ABILHAND-Kids and Functional Independence Measure for Children WeeFIM. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison between BFMF-2.0 levels. Results: Children 7.18  4.52 y 3-12 y, 26 girls 53.1 were divided into four groups as BFMF-2.0 level IIa n16, level IIIa n12, level IIIb n11 and IVb n10 according to functional asymmetric hand involvements. There was a significant difference between the groups p0.001. In pairwise comparisons, difference between level IVb and IIa was significant in WeeFIM and ABILHAND-Kids scores p0.008. Conclusion: In-hand manipulation skills are critical for upper extremity performance and functional independence of daily living activities in children with CP. In-hand manipulation of one hand may increase functional independence of the child regardless of the other hands involvement levels.
