Adapting the environment in which a child with Cerebral Palsy lives or adapting himself according to the environment facilitates independence in daily life activities. There is a need for practical performance tests to evaluate the gait adaptation of children with cerebral palsy in the clinic. However, no study has been found to evaluate gait adaptation in children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the WALK test, which was previously developed for children with special learning disabilities, in individuals with cerebral palsy.
According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, physical, social, and behavioral environmental factors; can affect a child's disability, activity limitations, and participation. Adapting the environment in which a child with Cerebral Palsy lives or adapting himself according to the environment facilitates independence in daily life activities. There is a need for practical performance tests to evaluate the gait adaptation of children with cerebral palsy in the clinic. However, no study has been found to evaluate gait adaptation in children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the WALK test, which was previously developed for children with special learning disabilities, in individuals with cerebral palsy. The study will be conducted by Afyonkarahisar University Faculty of Health Sciences.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| WAL-K test | The WAL-K test evaluates gait adaptation ability in children. A 10 meter long ladder is used for the test. The test is performed in two different conditions: taking only one step or taking two steps towards a target. The individual is video-recorded for the scoring of the test. Scoring records the total time (in seconds) and the total number of errors (tapping a stick, taking the wrong number of steps on a target, or missing a target) to complete the ladder back and forth. A combination score of time and errors is determined (0.5 s penalty is added to the elapsed time for each error). For the test, 1 trial and two formal tests are applied. The highest of the combination scores of the 2 formal tests is determined as the test result. | 15 minutes |
