About this study
Official title: Comparative Efficacy Research of Intensive and Distributed Constraint-Induced Therapy: Evidence-Based Neurorehabilitation in Children With CP
This 3-year research project aims to investigate and compare the treatment effectiveness (in terms of motor and psychosocial outcomes) and potential predictors (in terms of demographical, biological and psychosocial domains) of the intensive and distributed Child- and Family-Friendly CIT protocols with an equivalent intervention period in children with CP by quasi randomized controlled study design. In addition, the selection and examination of outcome measures were based on the ICF-CY model to provide comprehensively documents.
Read the detailed description
Upper limb dysfunction is a common and disabling consequence of children with cerebral palsy (CP). As children with hemiplegia primarily have one better funcitoning side of their body and one more affected side, they often tend not to use the affected extremity resulting in the phenoema of developmental disregard. Recent evidence suggests that constraint-induced therapy (CIT) is the most effective technique to improve the use of the affected hand and reduce the developmental disregard in children with CP. However, despite the cumulative evidence supporting the effects of pediatric CIT, the concerns of feasibility and gaps of current knowledge prompt us to conduct this current proposal. The concerns of the feasibility include this approach is emotionally problematic at early stages and researchers suggested that the orginal CIT protocols may be too intrusive for children and their families. The gaps of current knowledge include: no study has directly investigated the effectiveness differences between various CIT models; no study examines, monitors and compares the psychosocial outcomes while receiving the CIT protocols for children and their parents systematically and comprehensively; and no study investigates the possible clinical characteristics of children that may influence the training effects of the various CIT models.
Investigators will recruit a total of 60 children with CP from the CP Association, medical centers, and special educational systems and participants will be assigned to the two intervention groups. The intensive CIT is delivered by the group-based design with 6 hours a day for 6 days (36 hours in total) and the distributed CIT will be delivered by individualized home-based intervention with 2.25 hours a day, two times a week, for 8 weeks (36 hours in total).

This novel design is mean to enhance and motivate the engagement of participation. Receives: Other: Intensive CIT Model Program |
| Distributed CIT Model Program | Experimental | All treatment activities will be focused on the training of the more affected upper limbs with contextual restraint. Investigators choose this child-friendly way to restraint children's non or less impaired hand without any devices. Investigators will provide a unilateral activities and verbal cues to restraint participants' non or less affected side. All tailored activities will be designed as fun and age-appropriated based on the child's preference and parents' concerns. In order to help children to generalize the therapeutic gains to the real world environment, the intervention will take place in the natural environment such as home or school where it may be easier to identify real practical problems and makes the family or caregivers involved more closely and directly.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
"change" Melbourne Assessment 2 (MA2)
The MA2 was developed to investigate the objective upper-limb movement in children with CP aged 2.5 to 15 years (Randall, Imms, Carey, \& Pallant, 2014). The test comprises 14 functional tasks (e.g., grasping a pellet, pointing, and etc), which are representative of the most important components of unilateral upper limb function, including reach, grasp, release, and manipulate.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Box and Block Test (BBT)
The BBT assesses manual dexterity by county the number of blocks that are transferred with a single hand from one compartment to another within 60 seconds. In recent years, it has increasingly been used to assess gross manual dexterity of the affected versus the non-affected hand in children and young adolescents with hemiplegia cerebral palsy.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Pediatric Motor Activity Log-Revised (PMAL-R)
The PMAL-R is adapted from the Pediatric Motor Activity Log (Taub et al., 2004), which was developed as an outcome measure for evaluating the effectiveness of CIT in children with CP. It is a parent-reported evaluative tool used to capture the spontaneous use of the affected upper limb in 22 daily activities. Each activity is rated by parents/careers on two set (how often and how well) of 6-point ordinal scales (0-5). The 'how often' scale measures amount of use, and the 'how well' scale measures quality of movement, of the affected upper limb. The PMAL-R testing manual is available online.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
Secondary outcomes (9)
"change" Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2)
The BOT-2 is widely used as an efficient and standardized measurement of motor control skills for children aged 4 through 21. The subtest 3 of the BOT-2, manual dexterity (MD), will be used to assess a child's upper limb dexterity. The subtests 3 of the BOT-2 consist of 5 goal-directed activities that involve reaching, grasping, and bimanual coordination with small objects to investigate a child's upper limb manual function
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Motion Analysis
For the performance outcome measures, endpoint variables during reach-to-grasp task, namely reaction time, movement time, movement unit, peak velocity and its time percentage during the movement time will be calculated using the wrist marker. For the performance production measures, joint angles of the shoulder, elbow and wrist during reach-to-grasp task will also be calculated to represent the motor strategy of children with CP before and after intervention.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" ABILHAND-Kids
The ABILHAND-Kids questionnaire is a Rasch-based assessment that measures children's perceived difficulty in performing ADL that require the use of the bilateral upper limbs. It contains 21 items measuring manual ability and is rated on a 3-point response scale. The parent is asked to fill in the questionnaire by estimating their child's ease or difficulty in performing each activity, irrespective of the limb(s) the child actually use and whatever the strategies used to perform the activity.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI)
The PEDI is used to evaluate the generalization of treatment effect to daily life. The PEDI assesses the level of independence in daily activities in children with cerebral palsy, including the functional performance and level of assistance needed in daily activities.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ)
The DMQ provides a primary caregiver's perceptions of mastery motivation. It consists of 45 items across seven subscales and two aspects of mastery motivation. Instrumental mastery focuses on persistence with tasks and includes the subscales of object-oriented persistence, gross motor persistence, social persistence with adults and social persistence with peers. Expressive mastery comprises subscales of negative reactions to failure and mastery pleasure. The final subscale, competence, is considered a separate construct which measures the child's ability to master tasks relative to peers. This involves rating each of the 45 items on a five-point scale ranging from 1=not at all typical to 5=very typical.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Test of Playfulness (ToP)
The ToP is an assessment designed for measuring the playfulness of individuals between the ages 6 months and 18 years. It is composed of 24 items that are scored following an observation of the individual's free play. Items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale with respect to three dimensions: Extent (0 = rarely or never, 3 = almost always), Intensity (0 = not, 3 = highly), and Skillfulness (0 = unskilled, 3 = highly skilled).
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Pediatric Engagement Questionnaire (PEQ)
The PEO includes two versions, that is, child version and therapist version (PEQ-C, PEQ-T). The items of the PEQ are modified from existing questionnaires Pediatric Motivation Scale (PMOT) and based on tenets of self-determination theory. The PEQ-C consists 16 items by 5-point Likert scale with smiley face figures. It is an event-based measurement of motivation and is designed to measure motivation and the experience of receiving specific therapeutic activities. The PEQ-T represents therapists' observations of the child's engagement, participation, and persistence of master the tasks during interventions sessions. It is also designed as 5-point Likert scale on child's engagement, participation, and task persistence for therapists' points of view.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ)
The CSQ has 24 items and 2 open-ended questions that is designed to obtain the information from the parents including their general satisfaction with service, their perspective of the intervention, their thoughts to the treatment content, dose and the importance of the intervention. The CSQ can easily be supplemented by open-ended questions and items of special interest to a particular service program, without undue time demand on clients.
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
"change" Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF)
The PSI-SF is direct derivative from the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) full-length test which was created to sample a diverse range of potential influences on parenting practices to address the need for a psychometrically sound but brief screening measure of parenting stress. All 36 items of the PSI-SF consist of three subscales: Parental Distress, Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction, and Difficult Child. Each subscale consists of 12 items rated from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Measured: Intensive and CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 week, 2 months, 6 months; Distributed CIT Model Program: baseline, 1 months, 2 months, 6 months
