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 Included studies were heterogeneous, and unpublished data were excluded.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.”
