“…In conclusion, the SFC approach was associated with significantly improved goal performance and satisfaction and required fewer sessions than traditional therapies (Hanson, Tokay Harrington, & Nixon-Cave, 2015). Children/youth and parents described feeling empowered in the SFC-peds process and noted a strong degree of collaboration in both the goal setting and the subsequent conversations about goal progress.…”

Background: The ultimate goal of therapeutic intervention is meaningful participation in one's world. For people with Cerebral Palsy (CP), limitations can often become a focus of care. Aim: Our purpose was to investigate the impact of a Solution-Focused Coaching intervention designed for pediatric rehabilitation (SFC-peds) on the attainment of participation goals for children/ youth with CP. Method: Twelve participants participated in a repeated measures quantitative study and in qualitative interviews. Children and youth (ages 6-19) and their families participated in three to five coaching sessions, including an initial baseline goal setting session, with one additional follow-up session as well as the qualitative interviews. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Goal Attainment Scaling were incorporated into initial coaching sessions and then readministered by a blind assessor within one month post-intervention. Qualitative interviews were conducted at this time. Results: Statistically significant improvements were found in goal performance, satisfaction, and attainment. Interview data included consideration of both the content of the intervention (what the practitioner is doing) and the unique SFC-peds process (how the client feels about the intervention). Conclusions: SFC-peds may present an effective approach for working with children/youth with CP to achieve self-selected participation-oriented goals in a relatively short time-period.

“…The difficulty is related to the fact that a typical frequency of therapy or training for people with CP does not exist [3,4]. Some guidelines have been developed in order to establish rules concerning the frequency and intensity of treatments or trainings [28,29]. Bailes et al [28] state that an intensive training is performed 3-11 times per week and, for instance, Hanson et al [29] indicate a frequency of 3-5 times per week.…”

Introduction. This review aims to find if there is any effectiveness in the application of therapeutic suits or intensive suit trainings or both together, among people with cerebral palsy and other pathologies. Methods. Articles published from 1997 to 2019 were reviewed. Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria that involved: English, Spanish, or Polish language; published studies; studies about the effectiveness of suit therapies regardless of the used protocol (Adeli suit, Therasuit, Penguin suit, or suit therapy); studies conducted among people with cerebral palsy or other neurological disorders regardless of age, type of cerebral palsy, and severity level. Results. There were some positive effects in gross motor functions, functional gait, and joint mobility. However, the evidence was not clear and there were numerous factors that could have affected the results and produced methodological limitations. Conclusions. The findings justify further exploration of the potential of suit therapies in people with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders.

“…The treatment frequency guidelines (TFGs) developed by Bailes et al 6 ) could be used in deciding the treatment frequency in pediatric settings. The TFGs provide a good starting point for decision making regarding treatment frequency for pediatric patients 7 ) . The TFGs were also used across inpatient and outpatient settings, and four modes were developed as follows.…”

[Purpose] This study investigated the frequency effect of physical and occupational therapy on activities of daily living performance in children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 162 children with cerebral palsy who attended a convalescent or rehabilitation center for disabled individuals or a special school for physical disabilities in South Korea participated in this study. The Pediatric Evaluation Disability Inventory was used to collect data on activities of daily living performance according to physical therapy frequency based on neurodevelopmental therapy for 1 year. [Results] The relationships between physical therapy frequency and activities of daily living performance (mobility, social function, and total functional skill) and between occupational therapy frequency and activities of daily living performance (social function and total functional skill) were significant. There was no significant difference in activities of daily living performance according to physical therapy frequency. The difference in the activities of daily living performance according to occupational therapy frequency was significant for social function. [Conclusion] Intensive occupational therapy was more effective in improving activities of daily living performance in children with cerebral palsy. In particular, their social function further improved with intensive physical therapy.
