Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Caregiver Functional Use Survey (CFUS)

Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Caregiver Functional Use Survey (CFUS)

Increasing the number of Turkish version of the questionnaire evaluating hand use, adding the scales that evaluate the selective movements of the upper limb to the evaluations will increase the variety of evaluation methods.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Caregiver Functional Use Survey (CFUS)

CFUS was designed to assess caregivers' perceptions of how much and how well their child used the involved upper extremity.

Children's upper extremity functions will be assessed with a Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test. Their family will be asked to fill the CFUS.

Compare the relationship between Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and Turkish Version CFUS. Investigate the internal consistency of Turkish-version of CFUS by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
