Overview

Randomized trial evaluates home-based rehabilitation outcomes in children with spastic cerebral palsy, suggesting benefits for motor skills and reducing family stress.

Key Points

  • The aim was to assess home-based rehabilitation's effects on motor function and family burden in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
  • Randomized controlled trial with 40 families of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
  • Participants assigned to either conventional hospital-based rehabilitation or home-based, parent-delivered rehabilitation.
  • Assessments of family burden, psychological outcomes, and children's gross motor function conducted monthly over 6 months.
  • Home-based rehabilitation showed comparable improvements in gross motor function to conventional rehabilitation.
  • The family group reported a significant reduction in family burden and improved parental emotional states.
  • Changes in family burden were identified as a stable predictor of parental emotions.
