Study And Compare The Efficacy Of Occupational Performance Coaching Of Mothers With Cerebral Palsy Children Over Conventional Occupational Therapy Program For Enhancing Motor Development- Randomized Control Trial
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose- The aim of this study was to find out and compare the efficacy of occupational performance coaching (OPC) of mothers with cerebral palsy children (CP) for enhancing motor development.
Background- Globally, research has found that the prevalence of cerebral palsy ranges from 1.5 to 4 per 1000 live births or children. Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain. Cerebral palsy is a developmental disability that manifests itself in childhood. Cerebral palsy patients have global, physical, and mental impairments, as well as behavioral issues. Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC) is an ideal coaching model to use in India because it focuses specifically on enabling children's and parents' participation in occupations in the home and community through therapist-guided but parent-identified solutions to occupational performance barriers.
Methods-48 CP children was included in this study by convenient sampling method but two of them were not matching the inclusion criteria. It was a randomized control trial. Data was taken from pediatric centre Neuropod Therapy. COPM and MAS was used as outcome measure in this study.
Results and Conclusion- This study concluded that there is statistically significant difference in the intervention group, were received occupational performance coaching (OPC) with conventional occupational therapy program i.e., there was marked improvement in satisfaction and performance in posttest intervention group in comparison of control group and the goals were made which based on motor development of the child, so there was significant improvement in the motor goals which leads to the improvement in satisfaction and performance that enhances the motor development of the child.
