Abstract
Amaç: Kas güçsüzlüğü ve motor gelişimdeki gecikmeler nörofibromatozis tip 1 olan çocuklarda sık görülen problemlerdir. Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88, gelişim geriliği olan çocuklarda motor fonksiyonları değerlendirmek için yaygın olarak kullanılan bir araçtır. Bu çalışmanın amacı tip 1 nörofibromatozisli Türk çocuklarından oluşan bir örneklemde Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88'in geçerliğini araştırmaktır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya nörofibromatozis tip 1 olan 5 ile 17 yaş arası 40 çocuk (20 erkek/20 kız) katıldı. Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88'in geçerliliğini değerlendirmek için Manuel Kas Testi, fizyoterapist tarafından üst ve alt ekstremitelerde yedi kas grubuna bilateral olarak yapıldı.
Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 9,7±3,81 yıldı. Manuel Kas Testi ve Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88 alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönde orta ile güçlü korelasyon bulundu (r=0.317-0.668; p <0.05).
Sonuç: Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88, nörofibromatozis tip 1 tanılı çocuklarda kaba motor fonksiyonların değerlendirilmesi için geçerli bir ölçümdür. Nörofibromatozis Tip 1’li çocuklarda motor gelişimsel gecikmelerin belirlenmesi, erken müdahale programlarının oluşturulması ve semptoma özgü rehabilitasyon hedeflerinin belirlenmesi için bir rehber olacaktır. Kaba motor fonksiyonu değerlendirmek için Nörofibromatozis tip 1 tanılı çocuklarda Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçümü-88'in kullanılmasını öneriyoruz.

Validity of the Gross Motor Function Measurement in a sample of Turkish Children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Abstract
Purpose: Muscle weakness and delays in motor development are more common problems in children with neurofibromatosis type 1. Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 is widely used tool to evaluate motor functions in children with developmental disabilities. We aimed to investigate validity of the Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 in a sample of Turkish children with neurofibromatosis type 1.
Methods: Aged between 5 to 17 years 40 children (20 male/20 female) with neurofibromatosis type 1 participated in this study. To asses validity of Gross Motor Function Measurement 88, Manual Muscle Test was done seven muscle groups in upper and lower limbs bilaterally by a physical therapist.
Results: The mean age was 9.7±3.81 years. A positive moderate to strong correlation was found between Manual Muscle Test and Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 subdomains (r=0.317-0.668; p <0.05).
Conclusion: Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 is a valid measurement for evaluating gross motor functions in children with neurofibromatosis type 1. Identifying motor developmental delays in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 will be a guide for establishing early intervention programs and determining symptom-specific rehabilitation goals. We recommend the use of Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 for evaluating gross motor function.
