Brief Summary

This study was designed as a three-armed, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of CO-OP and GDT interventions on occupational performance and functional status in children with CP compared with their usual care.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Occupational Problems; Cognitive Orientation; Goals

Keywords

cerebral palsy; occupational performance; functional status; CO-OP; goal directed training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)

  COPM is used to help individuals describe occupational performance problems and precedence in the areas of self-care, productivity, and leisure, in which they have difficulty performing.

  "up to 12 weeks"

• Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI):

  PEDI is a measurement tool used to evaluate the functional status of children.

  "up to 12 weeks"

Interventions

CO-OP OTHER

With a task-specific and goal-focused CO-OP approach; it is aimed to increase one's skills, to teach to use self-generated cognitive strategies, and to encourage generalization and transfer to new situations and activities.

Also known as: Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach

coop plus traditional occupational therapy

GDT OTHER

Goal-directed training included the active implementation of task-specific activities related to the child's functional goals. Focusing on motor learning, GDT is an activity-based approach to therapy that uses meaningful, self-selected goals to provide opportunities for problem solving and indirectly guide the movements necessary to successfully meet task demands

Also known as: goal directed training

GDT plus traditional occupational therapy

traditional occupational therapy OTHER

The program included functional one-handed and two-handed training and consisted of advice and treatment aimed at reducing spasticity, improving hand function and activities of daily living, and providing appropriate orthoses. It also includes techniques aimed at improving impairment (e.g., stretching, sensory stimulation) and strengthening activities (e.g., motor training, environmental modification, performing specific target activities) to help participants achieve their individual goals.
