Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of Synchronous and Asynchronous Telerehabilitation-Based Action Observation Treatment in Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of action observation therapy applied using two different telerehabilitation techniques (synchronous and asynchronous) to children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
Action observation treatment (AOT) is a new rehabilitation technique. AOT involves the observation of purposeful actions, presented through a video-clip or performed by an operator, in order to imitate and then perform them. In this study, AOT will be applied by observing actions to be presented via video-clips. 36 children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be included. The participants will be randomly divided into three groups. The groups are: a) the synchronous telerehabilitation group, where AOT will be applied under the supervision of a physiotherapist via videoconferencing; b) the asynchronous telerehabilitation group, where AOT will be applied under parental supervision; and c) control group. Both the synchronous telerehabilitation group and the asynchronous telerehabilitation group will receive AOT 5 days a week for 3 weeks, for a total of 15 sessions, in addition to conventional physiotherapy. The control group will only receive conventional physiotherapy. A total of three evaluations will be made at baseline (T0), at the end of treatment (T1), and at two months of follow-up (T2). ;
