Özet

© 2020 Turkish Physiotherapy Association. All rights reserved.Purpose: Oral motor problems, feeding and swallowing problems are one of the most common problems in children with cerebral palsy. The Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS) is used to classify eating and drinking performance in children with cerebral palsy. The aims of this study were to translate the EDACS into the Turkish and to investigate its intra-rater reliability and the relationship with other functional classification systems. Methods: The EDACS was translated from English into Turkish. The Turkish version of the EDACS was applied to 125 children with cerebral palsy. For intra-rater reliability, the Turkish EDACS was re-scored after two weeks. Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, and Communication Function Classification System were also recorded to determine the functional status of children. Results: Fifty-four females and 71 males with a mean age of 7.44±3.95 years were included. The intra-rater reliability of the Turkish EDACS was almost perfect (ICC=0.972, Confidence Interval=0.959-0.980, p<0.001). Significant correlations were found between the Turkish EDACS and Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, and Communication Function Classification System (r=0.769, r=0.786, and r=0.824, respectively, p<0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish EDACS was found as a highly reliable instrument. The level of functional eating and drinking abilities is related to motor functional levels and communication status of children with cerebral palsy.
