Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study examined the effect of motivation on home exercise program and children's functional scores. 33 OBPP children (Narakas Type 2) aged between 0-18 months were divided into two groups. Intervention group was motivated via phone. Both groups were informed about OBPP, performed home exercises and filled exercise diary. Intrinsic Motivation Scale was used for measuring motivation and Gilbert and Raimondi Scoring and Active Movement Scoring were used for evaluating functional improvements at first assessment, 6th week and 12th week. For final comparison, parents were divided into two more groups (highly motivated and motivated group) based on motivation scores.

Home exercise program is widely used for treatment of OBPP children. The present study examined the effect of motivation on home exercise program and children's functional scores. 33 OBPP children (Narakas Type 2) aged between 0-18 months were divided into two groups. Intervention group was motivated via phone. Both groups were informed about OBPP, performed home exercises and filled exercise diary. Intrinsic Motivation Scale was used for measuring motivation and Gilbert and Raimondi Scoring and Active Movement Scoring were used for evaluating functional improvements at first assessment, 6th week and 12th week.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

33 children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) were randomized into control or intervention groups. Both groups parents were informed about OBPP, given home exercise and exercise diary. Intervention group was called via phone weekly in order to motivate and answer questions. Children's functional scores and parents motivation was measured.
