The present study examined the effect of motivation on home exercise program and children's functional scores. 33 OBPP children (Narakas Type 2) aged between 0-18 months were divided into two groups. Intervention group was motivated via phone. Both groups were informed about OBPP, performed home exercises and filled exercise diary. Intrinsic Motivation Scale was used for measuring motivation and Gilbert and Raimondi Scoring and Active Movement Scoring were used for evaluating functional improvements at first assessment, 6th week and 12th week. For final comparison, parents were divided into two more groups (highly motivated and motivated group) based on motivation scores.

| Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Motivation change | Intrinsic motivation scale measurement: has 21 questions with likert scale rating 1 to 7. Lowest score 21; meaning not motivated at all, 84 means neutral and 147 means fully motivated. | From baseline to 12th week | |
| Primary | Scoring general arm function | Active Movement Scale was used for scoring arm function: scale is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being best functional status. | From baseline to 12th week | |
| Primary | Scoring shoulder function | Gilbert and Raimondi's scale was used for scoring shoulder function: scale is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being best functional status. | From baseline to 12th week | |
| Secondary | Scoring elbow function | Gilbert scale was used for scoring elbow function: scale is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being best functional status. | From baseline to 12th week | |
| Secondary | Scoring hand function | Raimondi's scale was used for scoring hand function: scale is scored from 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being best functional status. | From baseline to 12th week |
