Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether wearing a functional hand splint adds benefit to carrying out a task-specific home program.

Methods: Thirty-three children were randomly assigned to the Specific Task and Splint Group or to a comparison group. Participants were evaluated before and after 6 weeks of intervention and at 14 weeks of follow-up.

Results: Both groups improved on the Assisting Hand Assessment and the Children's Hand-use Experience Questionnaire (AHA Units p = .000; CHEQ bimanual tasks p = .000; CHEQ grasp efficacy p = .000 and CHEQ time utilization p = .018). No differences were found between the groups after the intervention or after the follow-up.

Conclusions: Hand skills improved in both groups who received a task-specific home program. Wearing a functional hand splint did not appear to improve effectiveness in addition to the home program. This study is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03282422).

功能性夹板在脑瘫儿童特殊任务家庭计划中的效果。随机对照试验。

背景:本研究的目的是调查佩戴功能性手夹板是否会增加执行特定任务的家庭计划的好处。方法:将33例患儿随机分为特殊任务夹板组和对照组。在干预6周前后和随访14周时对参与者进行评估。结果:两组在辅助手评估和儿童手用经验问卷(AHA单位p = .000;CHEQ手工任务p = .000;CHEQ掌握效率p = .000, CHEQ时间利用率p = .018)。干预后和随访后，两组之间没有发现差异。结论:两组接受特定任务家庭计划的人的手技能都有所提高。佩戴功能性手夹板似乎并没有提高除家庭计划的有效性。该研究已在ClinicalTrials.gov注册(NCT03282422)。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
