Occurrence of gross motor behaviors and attainment of motor objectives in children with cerebral palsy participating in conductive education.
Authors: Effgen SK, Chan L
This exploratory study investigated the frequency of occurrence of gross motor behaviors by nine children with cerebral palsy (CP) participating in an 11-month conductive education (CE) program and the attainment of their gross motor objectives. The intervention team determined gross motor objectives for each child. Activities to achieve those objectives were fully integrated into the child’s daily routines. Interval by interval recording was used to observe eight stability, seven mobility, and six transfer behaviors during four school days for each child. The interrater reliability using a kappa statistic was 0.73-0.93 for the observed behaviors. An independent evaluator determined that the children achieved 83% of their gross motor objectives for the first …
