Telehealth-Delivered Stander Use for Children with Motor Delays
This study, called CP-MOVES, is looking at how an 8-week program using adaptive standers can help children aged 1-6 with severe motor delays, such as those with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The program is delivered through telehealth, meaning you'll connect with a physical therapist online, and parents will be coached to help their child use the stander three times a week for 30 minutes. Researchers want to see if this intervention improves children's physical activity, sleep, and endurance. They also want to understand if it affects parents' physical activity, sedentary time, heart rate, and stress. You might be able to join if your child has CP or another severe motor delay, cannot stand without help, and you have internet access. The study aims to enroll 20 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 20 participants.
- What's involved
- Your child will participate in 8 weeks of adaptive standing training, with one telehealth session and two parent-led practice sessions per week, each lasting 30 minutes. You will also need to travel to OSU for initial and final testing and to receive the stander.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your child's physical activity data will be measured for 7 days before the 8-week intervention begins and for 7 days after it ends.

What this trial measures
- Wearable sensor physical activity data: Vector MagnitudeFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Vector Magnitude is a measure of moderate to vigorous physical activity measured in G-Force units. To be measured pre/post in parent and child. Higher values indicate greater intensity of movement. Values range from 0 (sedentary) to very vigorous (\>9500). Expect increase in vector magnitude with intervention.
- Wearable sensor physical activity data: Daily Activity CountsFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Wearable sensor outcomes measured in parent and child. Daily Activity Counts are a measure of frequency and intensity of physical activity, converted from raw acceleration data to unitless count data. Measure of activity over the whole day (expressed in minutes from 0-1440 per day) and binned into Sedentary, Light or Moderate/Vigorous physical activity. Expect increase in light and/or moderate to vigorous physical activity following intervention.
- Wearable sensor physical activity data: Average Resting Heart RateFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Wearable sensor outcomes measured in parent and child., Average resting heart rate, measure in beats per minute, provides a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Normative values range from 50-100 beats per minute (adults and children, slightly higher in infants) with lower values indicating better fitness. Exploratory, but anticipate improved fitness (therefore lower resting heart rate) with intervention.
- Wearable sensor physical activity dataFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Wearable sensor outcomes measured in parent and child. Daily sedentary time, measured in minutes, quantifies the amount of time per day spent sitting, lying or otherwise stationary. Measured in minutes (range: 0-1440 per day). Less sedentary time is ideal. Expect less sedentary time following intervention.
- Sleep wearable sensor data: total sleep timeFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Sleep data measured in child only. Total sleep time is the amount of time, in minutes, that the child is sleeping. Measured in minutes (0-1440 minutes per day). Normative range from children ages 1-6 years is 9-14 hours per day. Exploratory measure, expect sleep to stay the same or slightly increase with increased physical activity.
- Sleep wearable sensor data: Sleep LatencyFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Sleep data measured in child only. Sleep latency is a measure of the time gap between when the child lays down at bedtime until they fall asleep, as measured by the wearable sensor. Sleep latency is measured in minutes (range: 0-1440 minutes in a single day). Exploratory, but expect sleep latency time to decrease.
- Sleep wearable sensor data: Sleep efficiencyFor 7 days before 8 week intervention begins and 7 days after 8-week intervention ends.
Sleep data measured in child only. Sleep efficiency is the proportion of time in bed that the child is asleep and is reported as a percentage (range 0-100%). Exploratory variable, but expect values to improve with intervention.
