Turkish adaptation of ACTIVLIM-CP Article Summary
Reference: Kınık M, Naz I. An investigation of the psychometric properties of the turkish adaptation of the activity limitations in cerebral palsy questionnaire. Disability & rehabilitation. Jul2022, P1-7. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the ACTIVLIM-CP after its translation into Turkish. Study population: The population of this study was 89 children who had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy that were getting physical therapy treatment. Methods: The researchers in this study first got permission to translate the study from the original authors, then got approval from the ethics board at Izmir Katip Celebi University, then got permission from the location of where the research was held and got informed consent of the parent of the children. This study was done in three phases, translation into Turkish and cross-cultural adaptation, the implementation of the ACTIVLIM-CP along with other outcome measures, then the…
Read MoreNormative values for the ACTIVLIM-CP Article Summary
ACTIVLIM-CP was recently developed for children who have cerebral palsy (CP) and used to assess their global activity performance in 43 different areas focusing on self-care, mobility, and domestic life. The purpose of this article was to provide normative values in regards to the ACTIVLIM-CP, determine its ability to discriminate between various functional levels in children with cerebral palsy, and determine its precision, construct validity, and clinical relevance. The study population included 503 typically developing children (259 boys and 244 girls) ages 2 to 18 years old and 285 children with cerebral palsy (134 boys and 15 girls) also aged 2 to 18 years old. Data was collected by having the parents complete the ACTIVLIM-CP questionnaire. For typically developing children, the parents completed the questionnaire through the child’s school, and for parents of children with CP, they completed the questionnaire either during the child’s usual care from health professionals or…

Developmental medicine and child neurology. 2018;60(11):1178-1185. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/dmcn.13927. doi: 10.1111/dmcn.13927. The study “Responsiveness of the ACTIVLIM-CP questionnaire: measuring global activity performance in children with cerebral palsy (CP)” is an investigation aimed at evaluating the responsiveness of the ACTIVLIM-CP in two evidence-based therapeutic interventions in children with CP: motor-skill learning-intensive intervention targeting upper extremities and lower extremities (HABIT-ILE) or botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) injection with conventional physiotherapy. Additionally, this study aimed to determine differences in the responsiveness of the ACTIVLIM-CP among different levels of the baseline gross motor function level of the participants. Overall, this study included 87 children who had a CP diagnosis, were levels I to IV on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), completed the assessment times, and were ages 6 to 18 years old. The participants received…
