Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk Impairment Scale | Baseline | Three items of the scale assess static sitting balance, ten assess dynamic sitting balance, and four assess trunk coordination. The maximum score that can be obtained from these three sections is 23 points. |
| Wolf Motor Function Test | Baseline | The test is a performance tool consisting of seventeen items designed to evaluate the motor skills of the upper extremity. While fifteen items assess functional skills, two items determine muscle strength. Muscle strength was not used in this study. A total score was calculated for the patients' functional skills. The test is scored between 0-5, and the total score varies between 0-75 points for this study |
