Aquatic Therapy for Children With Neuromotor Deficits
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, fidelity and acceptability of an aquatic therapy assessment and intervention. The intervention will target swim safety skills, upper extremity function and self care participation and performance in children with neuromotor conditions such as cerebral palsy. The study includes an intake evaluation session, twenty sessions of aquatic therapy (twice a week for 10 weeks) and a post evaluation session. This takes place in Columbus, Ohio.
Each session will be a combination of land-based self care training and water-based upper extremity exercise and swim skill training. The intervention structure will include the following:
- Self Care Session: Doffing clothing, preparing for swimming
- Motor learning aquatic activities guided by individualized goals
- Self Care session: Towel dry, rinse off, dressing
Individualized activities will be planned according to the individualized goals written for each child participant.

Experimental: Intervention: aquatic occupational therapy (AquOTic-NM)
aquatic occupational therapy 30 minutes, self care training 15 minutes
