The Effect of the CO-OP Approach for Children With Cerebral Palsy

NCT04308200 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 36

Last updated 2021-08-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the literature, despite the reported positive findings of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, studies in this area have been limited and it is stated that studies involving more sample groups are needed (24-27). In addition, no studies investigating the effect of the CO-OP approach on functional status were found. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CO-OP approach in terms of occupational performance and satisfaction also functional status in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to determine parents' satisfaction level from CO-OP.

The hypotheses of the study are: The CO-OP approach has no effect on occupational performance in children with CP. CO-OP approach has no effect on occupational satisfaction in children with CP. The CO-OP approach has no effect on the functional status of children with CP.

CO-OP approach

There are 3 stages in the CO-OP approach. Stage I, the Preparation Stage, is primarily concerned with establishing the "goal". Before the first interview, the child was contacted, the family and the child were informed, and it was checked whether they met the prerequisites. At this stage, 3 targets were selected and the basic performance level was determined. Stage II, the Acquisition Stage, is essentially the "plan" and "do" stage, in which the work of using strategies to acquire skills is done. This stage originally comprised 10 sessions. At this stage, the first session enabling principles were implemented and the global strategy "goal-plan-do-check" was introduced. The family attended this process with observation. Parents / caregivers were encouraged to make observations to generalize strategies. Stage III, the Verificatíon stage usually consists of only one session in which "control" is performed; the progress made was revised as learned strategies.

OTHER

NDT

All participations received NDT for 45 minutes once daily, two times a week for period of 6 weeks by the same physiotherapist. The NDT protocol is improving muscular tone and movement patterns. Although the treatment activities varied for each CP participant, the overall goals (improved smoothness and efficiency of movement), which included improved trunk, hip, knee and ankle control, were the same for all CP participants. All sessions incorporated handling techniques that aimed to alter muscle tone during movement and to facilitate anti-gravity, weight-shifting and postural reactions.
