TY - JOUR T1 - Training Mothers to Improve Gross Motor Skills in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial TT - JF - Iranian-Rehabilitation-Journal JO - Iranian-Rehabilitation-Journal VL - 17 IS - 1 UR - http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-827-en.html Y1 - 2019 SP - 9 EP - 16 KW - Cerebral Palsy KW - Motor skills KW - Mothers N2 - Objectives: The present study examined the effect of home-based handling training of mothers on the improvement of gross motor function of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: In this randomized control trial, 42 children with CP (5-12 years old) were randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups. Data were collected using the Gross Motor Function Classification System and Gross Motor Function Measure. Results: Gross motor function suggested significant improvement in the intervention group, in comparison with the control group (P<0.01). Discussion: Handling training of mothers could be advised as a complementary and helpful intervention for gross motor function improvement in children with CP. M3 10.32598/irj.17.1.9 ER -
