Brief Summary:
The purpose of this pilot study is to gather the data needed to do a larger research study to determine whether children with cerebral palsy print better sitting at an ergonomically-designed custom-fitted school desk or at an oversized standard school desk
Detailed Description:
This pilot study will allow us to gather information for a high-quality randomized controlled trial to study the efficacy of ergonomic school furniture as a remedial handwriting intervention for young students with cerebral palsy We will conduct the study in two parts In the first part 30 children with Gross Motor Function Classification System GMFCS Level I and II cerebral palsy will each provide manuscript handwriting samples using two different school furniture configurations A blinded assessor will score the legibility of handwriting samples using the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment MHA as a primary outcome measure In the second part seven occupational therapy experts will attend a focus group to help us determine the minimal clinically important difference score for the MHA We will use the data collected to determine the sample size requirements for a proposed randomized controlled trial
