Health Sciences Medicine Occupational Therapy Physical Therapy hemiplegic cerebral palsy sensory function HASTe haptic sensation The primary purposes of this study are: 1) to complete validation of the Haptic Active Sensation Test (HASTe) for use in children; 2) to extend the understanding of sensory and motor dysfunction in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy in both hands; and 3) to examine the relationship between haptic sensation and motor function in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. This study used a quasi-experimental cohort design, comparing six children, aged 6-10 years of age with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, to an age matched peer group (n=6) on motor and sensory tests in both hands. Tests were performed in a single day testing session, and included: grip strength, The Jebsen Taylor Test of Motor Function, two-point discrimination, the Nottingham method of stereognosis, and the HASTe. Data for the paretic/ non-dominant hand were combined with 6 additional subjects from a previous master’s thesis to increase statistical power. Results found that the HASTe has good test-retest reliability (ICC=0.772), and excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha= 0.871). A cut-off score of 12/18 was established, with sensitivity of .833 and specificity of .583. A Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was developed, with area underneath at 0.788. Using t-tests, the paretic hand was found to have statistically significant differences between groups (at p<0.05) for all scores except two-point discrimination of the thumb. The HASTe correlated at a moderate rate with both stereognosis (r=0.428, p=0.037) and the Jebsen Taylor without writing (r=-.509, p=.011). The HASTe is a valid and reliable tool in assessing haptic sensation in children. It identified a greater number of children as having a deficit on both the paretic and non-paretic hands compared to two point discrimination and stereognosis. 2012-12-20 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1354594987 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1354594987 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
