“…All studies measured balance using at least one instrument, and five studies used two or more instruments to assess patients' balance ( 9 , 53 – 56 ). Eight studies used the PBS assessment tool ( 41 , 43 , 51 – 53 , 55 , 57 , 59 ), five studies used the CoP Kinematics system (balance force plate) ( 19 , 41 , 48 , 50 , 53 ), three studies used the TUG ( 54 – 56 ), two studies used the BOTMP ( 9 , 49 ), and one study used the MABC-2 ( 58 ), FRT ( 56 ), MFRT ( 60 ), PRT ( 42 ) and DBT ( 54 ).…”

“…The applied VR interventions could be categorized into two groups ( Figure 3 ). One group of 11 studies used the intervention with a game component ( 19 , 41 , 42 , 50 , 52 , 54 , 56 – 60 ), and the other seven used real-time feedback or interactive exercise in the virtual world ( 9 , 43 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 55 ). The interventions in all these studies were as follows: the total amount of treatment (160–1,680 min), duration of treatment (20–60 min), and intervention period (2–12 weeks).…”

Virtual Reality (VR) therapy is popular in treating children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) as a new technology for rehabilitation. Nevertheless, no substantial evidence supporting VR therapy promotion has been developed to date. This study aimed to investigate the effects of VR therapy on balance in children with CP. We conducted a systematic search in PubMed and Web of Science (updated to December 30, 2021). The systematic review and meta-analysis included all randomized controlled trials that included children with CP. A total of 18 RCT studies were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review, and meta-analysis was performed on 16 of them. Results showed that the VR intervention was beneficial for balance (SMD 0.47 [95% CI, SD 0.28, 0.66]). We concluded that VR therapy interventions for children with CP have positive effects. However, cautious implementation is needed in clinical applications.

“…The therapeutic interventions in CP analyzed with the assessment instruments presented were gaming or technology-assisted therapies, which were the most common type of intervention used by the authors [ 15 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], followed by electrotherapy management [ 12 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ], and strength training [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Although less frequently, the studies investigated aerobic training [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], hippotherapy [ 18 , 47 ], music therapy [ 48 , 49 ], gait training [ 50 ], and aquatic exercise [ 51 ].…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) treatment includes physical therapy and various complementary therapies to the standard clinical treatment. However, there are not many reviews that focus on the methods used and evaluation procedures. This study aims to analyze which tools are most suitable for the evaluation and methodology of patients with CP treated with physical therapy. Following the PRISMA statement, through a PICOS strategy, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, Science Direct, and Scielo were searched with the following terms: cerebral palsy AND (physical therapy modalities OR therapeutics) AND outcome assessment. The methodological quality of the RCTs was assessed with the Evidence Project risk of bias tool. Thirty-seven RCTs and six RCT protocols, comprising 1359 participants with different types of CP: spastic hemiplegia/paresis, spastic diplegia/paresis, and spastic CP, met the inclusion criteria, uncovering 21 variables measured through 77 different instruments and several interventions. The therapies most widely used in CP are gaming or technology-assisted therapies, aerobic training, hippotherapy, music therapy, gait training, and aquatic exercises. This study provides an overview of what the authors used in the neurorehabilitation field through procedure evaluation and checking the technological advance that began to be used.

Play interventions for paediatric patients in hospital: a scoping review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectivePlay is a non-invasive, safe and inexpensive intervention that can help paediatric patients and their families manage difficult aspects of being ill or hospitalised. Although play has existed in hospitals for decades, research on hospital play interventions is scarce. This review aimed to categorise and synthesise the last 20 years of research on hospital play interventions.DesignScoping review.Data sourcesPubMed, CINAHL, CENTRAL, ERIC and PsycINFO (1 January 2000– 9 September 2020).Study selection and data extractionWe systematically searched for original peer-reviewed articles, written in English, on hospital play interventions in paediatric patients (0–18 years) in non-psychiatric settings. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts, reviewed full text of relevant articles and extracted data. We thematically synthesised the data from the included studies, and a descriptive analysis, based on a developed framework, is presented.ResultsOf the 297 included articles, 78% came from high-income countries and 56% were published within the last 5 years. Play interventions were carried out across all ages by various healthcare professionals. Play interventions served different roles within four clinical contexts: A) procedures and diagnostic tests, B) patient education, C) treatment and recovery and D) adaptation. Across these contexts, play interventions were generally facilitated and purpose-oriented and had positive reported effects on pain, stress, and anxiety.ConclusionsPlay in hospitals is an emerging interdisciplinary research area with a significant potential benefit for child and family health. Future research should further describe principles for play in hospitals. High-quality studies investigating short-term and long-term effects are needed to guide when and how to best integrate play in hospitals.
