FULL TEXT
2018 FEB 10 (NewsRx) — By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Pediatrics Week — A new study on Physical
Therapy and Rehabilitation Medicine – Physical Therapy is now available. According to news reporting originating
from Manila, Philippines, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “Caregiver-provided physical therapy home
programs (PTHP) play an important role in enhancing motor outcomes in pediatric patient populations. This
scoping review systematically mapped clinical trials of caregiver-provided PTHP that were aimed at enhancing
motor outcomes in children who have or who are at risk for motor delay, with the purpose of (1) describing trial
characteristics; (2) assessing methodologic quality, and (3) examining the reporting of caregiver-related
components.”
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Department of Physical Therapy, “Physiotherapy
Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest Central, CINAHL,
LILACS, and OTseeker were searched up to July 31, 2017. Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility.
Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials on PTHP administered by parents, other family members,
friends, or informal caregivers to children who had or who were at risk for motor delay were included. Two
reviewers independently appraised trial quality on the PEDro scale and extracted data. Twenty-four articles
representing 17 individual trials were identified. Populations and interventions investigated were heterogeneous.
Most of the trials had important research design limitations and methodological issues that could limit usefulness
in ascertaining the effectiveness of caregiver-provided PTHP. Few (4 of 17) trials indicated involvement of
caregivers in the PTHP planning, assessed how the caregivers learned from the training or instructions provided, or
carried out both. Included studies were heterogeneous, and unpublished data were excluded. Although caregiver-
provided PTHP are important in addressing motor outcomes in this population, there is a lack of evidence at the
level of clinical trials to guide practice. More research is urgently needed to determine the effectiveness of
caregiver-provided PTHP.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Future studies should address the many important issues
identified in this scoping review to improve the usefulness of the trial results.”
