TI  - Trunk Control in Children With Ataxic Cerebral Palsy.

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of trunk control in 
      children with ataxic cerebral palsy (CP). We included 15 children with ataxic CP 
      with a mean age of 9.46 years (SD = 1.08 years, 5-17 years) and 15 healthy 
      children with a mean age of 9.06 years (SD = 0.84 years, 5-13 years). While the 
      small sample size and large age range used here were not ideal for 
      generalizability, they were made necessary by the rarity of this clinical sample. 
      We used the Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded and Revised 
      (GMFCS-E&R) to classify the children's functional levels, and we tested trunk 
      control with the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS). We then used the Gross 
      Motor Function Measurement-88 (GMFM-88) to assess their gross motor functions. We 
      compared the total and subscale scores of the TCMS in healthy children and 
      children with ataxic CP by using the Mann-Whitney U Test. We also analyzed 
      differences between TCMS scores according to the children's GMFCS levels with the 
      Mann-Whitney U Test and also compared TCMS scores with the GMFM-88 by means of 
      Spearman correlation analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare 
      the scores of the TCMS with the GMFM-88. Our results showed that healthy children 
      showed significantly higher scores than children with ataxic CP in total and 
      subscale scores of TCMS (p < .05).There was no significant difference between the 
      TCMS scores in children of different GMFCS levels, but the GMFM-88B subscale was 
      signi fi cantly correlated with the static sitting balance (r(ho) = .568, p < .05) 
      and dynamic sitting balance (r(ho) = .547, p < .05) TCMS subscales and with the 
      TCMS total score (r(ho) = .590, p < .05). We concluded that trunk control, 
      especially its dynamic aspects, was impaired in children with ataxic CP.
