Feasibility of the <i>Challenge</i> Assessment, the <i>Gait Outcomes Assessment List</i> and ‘ <i>Moving Together’ (‘Sammen I Bevægels</i> e’), a Group-Based Motor Skills Intervention for Independent School-Aged Children with Cerebral Palsy

This single group pre and posttest study evaluated the feasibility of a new 10-week group-based motor skills enhancement intervention: <i>"Moving Together,"</i> and associated use of the <i>Challenge</i> assessment and <i>Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)</i>. Participant attendance/completion and satisfaction with the assessments and intervention were evaluated, and a first estimate of associated motor skill-related changes obtained. Ten ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (7-14 years) and their parents participated. Ninety percent of <i>Challenge</i> sessions were attended and 82.5% of <i>GOAL</i> questionnaires completed. Program attendance was 83% overall. Satisfaction with assessments was high for the <i>Challenge</i> and moderate for the <i>GOAL</i>, and intervention satisfaction was high. Mean change scores (95% CI) post-intervention for the <i>Challenge</i> and <i>GOAL</i> were 4.2 (-11.4 to 3.1) and 3.6 (-14.4 to 4.0) points (/100) respectively. <i>Challenge</i> and <i>GOAL</i> use was feasible and appropriate for "<i>MovingTogether"</i> and associated with gains in motor skill performance and functional abilities.

Abstract

This single group pre and posttest study evaluated the feasibility of a new 10-week group-based motor skills enhancement intervention: <i>"Moving Together,"</i> and associated use of the <i>Challenge</i> assessment and <i>Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)</i>. Participant attendance/completion and satisfaction with the assessments and intervention were evaluated, and a first estimate of associated motor skill-related changes obtained. Ten ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (7-14 years) and their parents participated. Ninety percent of <i>Challenge</i> sessions were attended and 82.5% of <i>GOAL</i> questionnaires completed. Program attendance was 83% overall. Satisfaction with assessments was high for the <i>Challenge</i> and moderate for the <i>GOAL</i>, and intervention satisfaction was high. Mean change scores (95% CI) post-intervention for the <i>Challenge</i> and <i>GOAL</i> were 4.2 (-11.4 to 3.1) and 3.6 (-14.4 to 4.0) points (/100) respectively. <i>Challenge</i> and <i>GOAL</i> use was feasible and appropriate for "<i>MovingTogether"</i> and associated with gains in motor skill performance and functional abilities.
