To Evaluate the Efficacy of Mobile Applications in Tailoring and Enhancing Rehabilitation Interventions for Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy

The world of technology is changing and becoming more advanced. Children with cerebral palsy can benefit from the technology to enhance their mobility, balance, and coordination through mobile applications. A lot of applications are made to offer games and interactive therapy activities that focus on balance, coordination, and motor skills.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Cerebral Palsy
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Mobile Application

Detailed Description

They may find these activities entertaining as well as helpful, which makes their rehabilitation more pleasurable. This work builds on previous studies by making a mobile application that may be accessed from any location, giving therapeutic treatments more distribution flexibility. This is especially helpful for those with cerebral palsy who might have mobility issues that make it challenging to consistently attend in-person therapy sessions. Cerebral palsy children can perform organized exercises at home with the help of mobile application made for therapeutic activities and rehabilitation. Therapeutic activities may be customized to meet the unique demands of each patient, guaranteeing that the treatment plan is in line with their capabilities and objectives. Caregiver's involvement in the treatment process is a common element of app created specifically for people with cerebral palsy. This might involve providing tools to enhance home-based care, educating caregivers through resources, and monitoring progress in order to promote a team-based approach to treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
questionnaire(QUIS)the application software	questionnaire(QUIS)the application software has been given to the intervention group and after using the software for one week, all participants answered the user satisfaction interaction questionnaire(QUIS).This step has taken to assess the software's usability based on feedback taken from parents or caregivers of patient with cerebral palsy and to assess the impact of utilizing this mobile application.	12 Months
Pedi Cat Questionnaire	Pedi Cat Questionnaire To assess amount of recovery in patients with cerebral palsy, the intervention group answered valid and reliable Pedi Cat questionnaire at the first day of the study. The intervention group used the content and rehabilitation protocol of the app under the supervision of therapist for 12 weeks at home. After 12 weeks, the Pedi Cat questionnaire was answered by intervention group to assess recovery increasing or any change in the patients.	12 months
