Overview

Prospective case series shows improved functional outcomes in children with diplegic cerebral palsy, suggesting practical interventions are beneficial.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the impact of a parent-mediated home-based rehabilitation program on functional outcomes and participation in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.
  • Conducted a prospective, non-consecutive case series over 10 weeks.
  • Involved 10 children aged 5 to 12 years with diplegic CP classified at GMFCS levels II and III.
  • Participants engaged in a tailored home intervention with parents trained to implement exercises and activities.
  • COPM performance scores improved from 3.1 to 4.2 (p<0.01).
  • WeeFIM scores increased from 72.5 to 78.5 (p<0.01).
  • Mean GMFM-66 scores improved from 63.12 to 64.84 (p<0.05).
