Abstract

This feasibility study aimed to examine the change in trunk control as assessed by the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo), and activities of daily living, mobility, and social/cognitive skills as assessed by the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) in young children with disabilities following MROC use. Eight participants received MROCs through a local GoBabyGo program and were instructed to use the MROC at least 1 hour per week for 8 weeks. Two participants did not complete the study. The remaining 6 participants (3 years, 0 months to 4 years, 5 months) were evaluated using the SATCo and PEDI-CAT 4 weeks before receiving their MROC, upon receiving the MROC, and after 4 and 8 weeks of MROC use. This study found improvement in SATCo level for 3 participants and no change or slight decrease in PEDI-CAT scores for all participants. No adverse events occurred. While improvement was found for the SATCo only in 3 out of the 6 participants, anecdotal reports of functional improvement and enjoyment from participant families indicate that further research is needed to holistically explore trunk control and the functional impact of MROC use in a naturalistic setting.

改良乘车方式对残疾儿童躯干控制和发育的影响:可行性研究。
本可行性研究旨在探讨使用MROC后残疾儿童躯干控制能力(SATCo)的变化,以及日常生活活动、行动能力和社会/认知技能(PEDI-CAT)的变化(儿科残疾评估量表计算机适应测试)。8名参与者通过当地的GoBabyGo项目接受了MROC,并被指示在8周内每周至少使用1小时MROC。两名参与者没有完成这项研究。其余6名参与者(3年0个月至4年5个月)在接受MROC前4周、接受MROC后、使用MROC 4周和8周后使用SATCo和PEDI-CAT进行评估。本研究发现3名参与者的SATCo水平有所改善,所有参与者的PEDI-CAT评分没有变化或略有下降。无不良事件发生。虽然6名参与者中只有3人的SATCo得到改善,但来自参与者家庭的功能改善和享受的轶事报告表明,需要进一步的研究来全面探索在自然环境中使用MROC的躯干控制和功能影响。
