Feasibility of a home-based home videogaming intervention with a family-centered approach for children with cerebral palsy: a randomized multiple baseline single-case experimental design.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Worldwide, children with cerebral palsy (CP) living in underserved communities face barriers to accessing motor therapy services. This study assessed the implementation and effectiveness of an 8-week, upper limb (UL) home-based intervention with a movement-tracking videogame (Bootle Blast) in Costa Rican children with CP.

Methods

Children established a weekly playtime goal and two UL activities of daily living (ADLs) that they would like to improve on. A multiple-baseline, single-case experimental design, was used with the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) as the repeated measure to track changes in performance of the selected ADLs between the baseline (usual care) and intervention (Bootle Blast) phases. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM),
