Mixed-Method Follow-Up of Toddler-Aged Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy After an Intense Physical/Occupational Therapy Intervention

Many months following an intense physical and occupational therapeutic intervention, based on predicted age-appropriate percentiles for motor function, roughly one-third of the children exceeded expectations, and one-third did not meet expectations. Despite the time invested in the intense protocol, caregivers felt the intervention was largely responsible for improvements in their children's functioning.

Abstract

Many months following an intense physical and occupational therapeutic intervention, based on predicted age-appropriate percentiles for motor function, roughly one-third of the children exceeded expectations, and one-third did not meet expectations. Despite the time invested in the intense protocol, caregivers felt the intervention was largely responsible for improvements in their children's functioning.
