Comparison of the Effects of Video-based Games Applied to Individuals With Cerebral Palsy in Different Age Groups on Balance, Trunk Proprioception, Motivation and Quality of Life

In the study we planned, 44 individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy will be divided into 2 groups according to age groups. Individuals aged 4-10 will be included in the child group, and individuals aged 11-18 will be included in the adolescent group. Individuals with cerebral palsy in the child and adolescent group will also be randomized and divided into treatment and control groups. In addition to the conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches, video-based virtual reality games will be played for a total of 10 weeks for treatment groups in both age groups. The patients will be followed up with a video-based game application for an average of 15 minutes, after the physiotherapy and rehabilitation application, which consists of an average of 45 minutes, twice a week. Individuals in the control group in both age groups will be followed for 10 weeks with conventional treatment created in accordance with neurodevelopmental treatment approaches.The entire sample will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 10th week. Our main aim in the study is to compare the effects of video-based games applied in different age groups on balance, trunk proprioception, motivation and quality of life.
