Aquatic Therapy for Children with Neuromotor Deficits
This study is looking at how practical and effective aquatic therapy is for children aged 3 to 9 who have neuromotor deficits, like cerebral palsy or conditions from hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain). The aquatic therapy involves occupational therapy sessions in a warm water pool twice a week for 10 weeks. Each session focuses on improving upper body function, swim skills, and independence with daily activities like dressing and showering. Researchers will measure changes in water orientation, daily activity skills, and upper body movement to see how well the therapy works. The study aims to enroll 36 children and is currently unclear regarding its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 36 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
