Brief Summary

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

The primary goal of CP-MOVES is to evaluate 1) the preliminary efficacy of a telehealth-delivered, parent coaching intervention in the use of adaptive standers, on physical activity, sleep, and endurance in young children with severe motor delays and 2) on physical activity, sedentary time, resting heart rate, and perceived stress in parents.

The main questions we aim to answer include:

1. Do measures of physiological fitness and sleep in children with severe motor delays (i.e., unable to stand without support) change after a therapist-directed, parent-delivered intervention using telehealth and adaptive standers?
2. Do parents report any changes in their child's endurance, participation, or quality of life OR parent stress following intervention?

Children ages 1-6 years old with severe motor delay and one parent will:

1. Complete three 30 minute sessions of standing in an adapted stander per week for 8 weeks. One session per week will be completed with a physical therapist, delivered through telehealth and two sessions per week will be completed as a home program with the parent and child (no therapist or telehealth).
2. Wear activity tracker sensors on the wrist(s) and waist for one-week before and after treatment.
3. Complete questionnaires about the child's endurance, participation, and quality of life and the parent's stress, before and after treatment.

Telehealth-delivered parent coaching intervention in adaptive stander use

Children will receive an adaptive stander and complete 30-minute sessions 3 times per week for 8 weeks. One session per week will be telehealth-delivered with a study researcher.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stander Use

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention includes 8 weeks of adaptive standing training delivered via telehealth with PT parent-coaching (1 telehealth session/week + 2 parent-led practice sessions/week). Sessions are 30 minutes, 3x/ week. Participants are provided a stander, sized to their age and body size for use during the study.

Stander Use

The intervention includes 8 weeks of adaptive standing training delivered via telehealth with PT parent-coaching (1 telehealth session/week + 2 parent-led practice sessions/week). Sessions are 30 minutes, 3x/ week. Participants are provided a stander, sized to their age and body size for use during the study.
