Understanding the use and benefits of assistive devices among young children with cerebral palsy and their families in Norway: a cross-sectional population-based registry study

The frequent use of a wide range of devices, and the intended and perceived benefits, demonstrates that early provision of assistive devices can be an effective function-enhancing strategy in young children with cerebral palsy. However, the findings also indicate that factors others than the child's motor abilities must be considered when integrating the use of devices into the child's daily routines and activities.
