Abstract

Purpose: This case report assesses the outcomes of a 6-week modified intensive program for a 4-year-old boy with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Function Classification System Level IV.

Summary of key points: The modified intensive program included the practice of developmental gross motor skills, standing/gait training in adaptive equipment, constraint-induced movement therapy, and whole body vibration.

Conclusions: The child improved in 4 of the 5 outcomes, including timed sitting balance and modified versions of the 5 Times Sit-to-Stand Test and 9-Hole Peg Test. His ability to assist with transfers, sit independently, and use both hands for play and self-help skills also improved.

Recommendations for clinical practice: This case report adds to the body of evidence supporting the use of intensive program models of physical therapy for children with CP and highlights the need for additional research in this emerging area of clinical practice.

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.
