Intensive Goal Training for Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
February 12, 2019 updated by: MARINA B BRANDAO, Federal University of Minas Gerais
Intensive Training of Functional Priorities Reported by Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) present important limitations for the performance of daily living activities.
The aims of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and effects of an intensive goal training protocol for adolescents with CP.
He hypothesize that adolescents submitted to the studied protocol will present improvements in performance and satisfaction of prioritized functional goals.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
We will conduct a feasibility study to assess the implementation and the possible effects of an intensive individualized goal training with adolescents with CP.
Adolescents will select up to 5 functional goals to be trained during a 2 weeks, 3 hour-daily training, totalling 30 hours across 2 weeks.
Moreover, they will be asked to daily practice these activities at home along the intervention period.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention group
Intensive goal training of relevant activities reported by adolescents in the beginning of the study.
Therapists will grade the level of complexity of the proposed activities, considering the relevant movements, task demands and contextual factors involved in the performance of each task.
Adolescents will be asked to practice these activities at home (1 hour/daily) and to discuss their difficulties and improvements with the therapists.
The intervention will be provided in a day-camp model.
