Abstract

|
Hand function evaluations are an important element of the assessment process in physical rehabilitation settings. The purpose of this study was to investigate hand function evaluation. Subjects consisted of 20 with spastic cerebral palsy(mean age = 9.8, SD = 1.6) and 20 with athetoid cerebral palsy(mean age = 9.6, SD = 2.3). Two groups of subjects were tested twice(pretest and posttest) by the JHFT to measure evaluations of hand function. These findings suggest that on four subtests - writing, card turning, large heavy objects and Stacking Checker-the spastic cerebral palsy perform significantly faster than athetoid cerebral palsy. But there were no significant differences between the pretest and posttest in spastic and athetoid cerebral palsy. To see the statistical differences in the experimental results was done using origin V. 3.0.
