Abstract

Purpose: To investigate caregivers' perceptions of using a ride-on car (ROC) and observe behavioral changes in their children following ROC training and conventional therapy.

Methods: The study included 37 toddlers with motor delays and their caregivers, divided into an ROC training group (27 participants) and a conventional therapy group (10 participants). A binary, multiple-choice, and open-ended questionnaire was administered before and after a 3-month intervention period.

Results: Over 70% of caregivers had no experience using mobility devices before the intervention. Before the intervention, children's ability and age were key barriers to using mobility devices. After the intervention, caregivers in the ROC group were more inclined than those in the control group to allocate a larger budget for these devices.

Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of pediatric physical and occupational therapists working collaboratively with caregivers during such interventions and raising awareness about government subsidies and resources available for mobility devices.

照顾者对乘车的感知和运动迟缓幼儿的行为变化。

目的：调查照顾者对使用乘车（ROC）的认知，并观察儿童在接受ROC训练和常规治疗后的行为变化。方法：该研究包括37名运动迟缓的幼儿及其照顾者，分为ROC训练组（27名参与者）和常规治疗组（10名参与者）。在为期3个月的干预期前后进行二元、多项选择和开放式问卷调查。结果：超过70%的护理人员在干预前没有使用移动设备的经验。在干预之前，儿童的能力和年龄是使用移动设备的主要障碍。干预后，ROC组的护理人员比对照组更倾向于为这些设备分配更大的预算。结论：研究结果强调了儿科物理和职业治疗师在此类干预期间与护理人员合作的重要性，并提高了人们对政府补贴和移动设备可用资源的认识。

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.
