The aim of the study is to compare the conventional rehabilitation program and the distortion taping applied with Kinesio Tex tape in addition to conventional rehabilitation in children with hemiplegic or monoplegic cerebral palsy with ankle varus deformity.
Conventional rehabilitation practices will be applied to the control group. In addition to Kinesio Tex tape distortion taping, conventional rehabilitation will be applied to the intervention group. It is aimed to evaluate the patients' balance, quality of life, performance test, spasticity level and gait quality.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| TUG | Patients are asked to get up from a standard chair, walk 3 meters at a safe and comfortable pace, and return without stopping to sit back in the chair safely. The elapsed time is calculated. There is no score range in TUG. | Change from Baseline TUG at 3 days |
| SLS | The one-leg standing test measures the time one is able to stand on one lower limb without support. There is no score range in SLS. | Change from Baseline SLS at 3 days |
| Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) | The Modified Ashworth Scale is a 6-point rating scale for gauging muscle resistance to passive movement. MAS is scored from 0 to 4, where lower scores represent normal muscle tone and higher scores represent spasticity. | Change from Baseline MAS at 3 days |
| WGS | The scale allows for a multifactorial gait analysis, takes in to account 14 observable gait parameters divided into four sub-scales referring to particular phases of gait, i.e. stance phase, toe off, swing phase, andheel strike. WGS is scored from 13.35 to 42.0. Higher scores indicate higher impairment. | Change from Baseline WGS at 3 days |
| CHQ | The CHQ is a validated multidimensional instrument that measures the functional health and well-being of children and young people. CHQ is scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health status. | Change from Baseline CHQ at 3 days |
