Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of a Novel, Home-based Training Program Using a Joystick-operated, Modified, Powered Ride-on-car on Bilateral Upper Extremity Function in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
This research is being done to explore if modified, commercially available, joystick-operated, ride-on-cars can be used to promote bilateral arm function in children with hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP). Specifically, the study evaluates the effects of a 6-week, home-based, child-friendly, innovative program that uses modified, commercially available, joystick-operated, powered ride-on-toys to promote spontaneous affected arm use and function in children with hemiplegic CP.
Prior to the start of the study, researchers will conduct a phone screening with the family to confirm their child's eligibility to participate in the study. Once eligibility is confirmed, during the pretest session, standardized assessments will be conducted to evaluate the child's ability to use their affected arm for different functional activities. During this testing visit, researchers will also use small sensors on the child's arms and observe their movements as they complete a reaching task. In addition, caregivers will be asked to complete questionnaires to obtain information on their child's overall health, development, and their ability to use their affected arm for various activities of daily living. Assessments and questionnaires will be repeated again at the mid-point of the study (that corresponds with completion of the 6-week control phase), and at posttest (that corresponds with completion of the 6-week home-based intervention phase). Researchers will video record all testing and training sessions so that children's performance can be scored later. Children will also be asked to wear wrist monitors on both hands to assess their habitual activity levels on dominant and non-dominant arms for 1 week at the pretest, at the mid-point assessment, during the first and last weeks of the training, and at posttest. This study consists of 2 phases: the control phase and the intervention phase. During the first 6-week control phase, the researchers will contact families on a weekly basis to obtain information regarding different therapies that their child receives both in and out of school. In the next 6-week intervention phase, researchers will visit the child's home twice a week to provide a training program involving joystick-operated ride-on-toys that will encourage the child to use their affected arm to control and navigate the ride-on-car through their physical environment. During the intervention phase the ride-on-car will be left at the child's home so that children can practice driving the car under caregiver supervision for additional days during the week. All testing sessions will be conducted before and after the control and intervention phases of the study. ;
