Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe existing GoBabyGo (GBG) programs with physical or occupational therapist (PT or OT) involvement and identify eligibility criteria and evaluation processes of organizations that build modified ride-on cars (MROCs).

Methods: Forty-four PTs and OTs completed a survey including descriptive information about GBG programs, barriers and facilitators, and functional aspects of the programs such as inclusion and exclusion criteria, outcome measure use, and follow-up practices.

Results: Findings demonstrated the heterogeneous nature of GBG programs. GBG programs most commonly serve 2 to-5-year-olds with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and chromosomal abnormalities. Outcome measure use and follow-up was minimal, and successful MROC use definitions varied from independent driving to passive use.

Conclusions: Clinicians can use this information to help improve existing GBG programs and start new chapters as well as make appropriate referrals for clients who may benefit from a MROC.

GoBabyGo 计划实践和评估过程的描述性研究。

目的：本研究旨在描述有物理或职业治疗师（PT 或 OT）参与的现有 GoBabyGo（GBG）项目，并确定建造改装乘用车（MROC）的机构的资格标准和评估流程：44名物理治疗师和职业治疗师完成了一项调查，调查内容包括有关GBG项目的描述性信息、障碍和促进因素，以及项目的功能方面，如纳入和排除标准、结果测量的使用和后续实践：调查结果表明，GBG 项目的性质各不相同。GBG 项目最常见的服务对象是 2 至 5 岁的脑瘫、脊柱裂和染色体异常儿童。结果测量的使用和跟踪极少，成功使用 MROC 的定义从独立驾驶到被动使用各不相同：临床医生可以利用这些信息来帮助改进现有的 GBG 项目和启动新的项目，并为可能从 MROC 中受益的客户提供适当的转介服务。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
