Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyFocus on function: a cluster, randomized controlled trial comparing child- versus context-focused intervention for young children with cerebral palsy.
This study evaluated the efficacy of a child-focused versus context-focused intervention in improving performance of functional tasks and mobility in young children with cerebral palsy. ⋯ This study shows that child- or context-focused therapy approaches are equally effective and that frequency of intervention may be a critical component of successful intervention. Further evaluation is required to identify the various 'dose-response' relations of amount of treatment and changes in functional abilities.
