About

This study was designed as a three-armed, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of CO-OP and GDT interventions on occupational performance and functional status in children with CP compared with their usual care.

Full description

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and posture, causing activity limitations that originated in the developing fetal or infant brain that are attributed to non-progressive disorders. Symptoms such as spasticity and contracture in CP cause a decrease in functional skill level with limitations in daily living activities such as learning a new skill or self-dressing and handwriting. In this disease, the simultaneous presence of sensory, cognitive, perceptual, and behavioral impairments significantly undermines the acquisition and execution of functional skills, autonomy in daily living, and active engagement in leisure activities. This study was planned to investigate and compare the impact of CO-OP and GDT on the occupational performance and functional status of children with CP.
