Validity and Reliability The Foot-taping Test in Children With Cerebral Palsy 32
Clinical Trial NCT07091201 is an observational study for Cerebral Palsy that is active, not recruiting. It started on 15 March 2024 with plans to enroll 32 participants. Led by Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University, it is expected to complete by 15 December 2025. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 29 July 2025.
Brief Summary
In spastic cerebral palsy, there are interrelated neuromuscular deficits that can affect ankle joint control, including impaired selective voluntary motor control, muscle weakness, spasticity, and shortened muscle-tendon units. As a result, it is important to assess ankle joint control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Clinicians need valid, reliable, and practical methods to assess ankle joint control. The ai...Show More
Detailed Description
Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term that refers to a permanent group of movement, posture, and/or motor function disorders caused by a non-progressive lesion or abnormality in the developing immature brain. In spastic cerebral palsy, there are interrelated neuromuscular deficits that can affect ankle joint control, impaired selective voluntary motor control, muscle weakness, spasticity, and shortened muscle-tendon uni...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Foot-Taping Test | For this test, the participant will be asked to strike the floor as quickly as possible for 10 seconds with each bare foot. The number of times the participant taps their foot on the ground within 10 seconds is recorded. The higher the number of times the participant taps their foot, the better their ankle control. | Two assessors will administer the SAVT to the participants on the first day, two hours apart (first test). The duration of the test is 5 minutes. The retest will be administered 7-10 days after the first test. |
Active Ankle Range of Motion | The participant will be placed supine, and the head of the fibula, lateral malleolus, head of the fifth metatarsal, and base of the fifth metatarsal will be marked. A digital camera will be used to photograph the range of motion of active dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. ImageJ, a software, will be used to measure the ROMs from the images. | Two assessors will administer the SAVT to the participants on the first day, two hours apart (first test). The duration of the test is 10 minutes. |
