Türkçeye Uyarlanmış Pediatrik Popülasyona Özgü Aktivite ve Katılım Ölçme Araçları: Geleneksel Derleme.

Determining the activity and participation level of children has an important place in the planning and development of their activities at home, school and social areas. Activity and participation assessment tools developed for pediatric population are widely used all over the world and many of them have been adapted into Turkish. According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, Children and Youth Version, activity and participation are evaluated with sub-di mensions such as gross motor functions, upper extremity functions, level of independence in activities of daily living, balance, walking, timed performance and functional independence level. In this context, it is very important to use valid and reliable tools for monitoring the development of children and determining treatment goals. When the re lated literature is examined, it is noteworthy that there are few Turkish-adapted forms of the tools that evaluate gross motor function, balance, gait, and quality of life. It is seen that Turkish measurement tools evaluating upper extremity functions are in the majority, but there are limited numbers of physical activity and physical activity measurements, mostly made with observational and experimental methods. The fact that the instructions of the balance scales were long increased the need for Turkish adaptation. Access to languageadapted measurement tools has become even more impor tant with the increasing need for evaluating the level of activity and participation. The use of scales without language adaptation may be insufficient to obtain objective results. In this respect, having detailed information about the Turkish-adapted tools that measure the level of activity and participa tion in children will make a significant contribution to clinicians and academics working in the field of pediatrics.
