Brief Summary:
This study is a randomized control trial exploring the therapeutic effects of scooter board activities on neck control and dysphagia in children with cerebral palsy CP Part of a Master of Science in Physical Therapy program the research focuses on innovative uses of scooter boards-flat wheeled platforms that allow children to propel themselves while lying or sitting This activity is hypothesized to improve neck stability and swallowing functions which are crucial for posture movement and reducing health risks such as malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia
The trial will employ validated tools like the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System EDACS Schedule for Oral Motor Assessment SOMA and Gross Motor Function Measure GMFM to assess changes in participants Conducted over six months at facilities including Rehab Care Rich Care and Royal College Hospital it will involve 22 children aged 6-10 diagnosed with spastic CP and exhibiting symptoms of dysphagia
The outcomes of this research could revolutionize therapeutic practices by providing a playful engaging approach to therapy that enhances both motor and social skills

Detailed Description:
This randomized control trial investigates the effects of scooter board activities on neck control and dysphagia in children with cerebral palsy CP focusing on a group of children aged 6 to 10 years diagnosed with spastic CP The core hypothesis is that scooter board activities which involve using a flat wheeled platform where children can propel themselves using their limbs can improve neck stability and swallowing functions-critical areas that affect posture movement and health risks such as malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia
The study is structured as a controlled experiment with two groups one receiving the innovative scooter board treatment and the other undergoing traditional physical therapy as a control The effectiveness of these interventions will be measured using three validated assessment tools
Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System EDACS - This tool classifies the eating and drinking abilities of individuals with CP focusing on the safety efficiency and level of assistance required
Schedule for Oral Motor Assessment SOMA - This assesses oral motor function evaluating the ability to use lips tongue and jaw which are crucial for eating and communication
Gross Motor Function Measure GMFM - Used to observe changes in gross motor function it helps quantify improvements in motor skills that may relate directly to the therapies administered
The research will take place over six months following the approval from an advanced research committee and institutional review board Data will be collected from multiple locations including Rehab Care Rich Care and Royal College Hospital A total of 22 children will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group
This trial aims to not only validate the effectiveness of scooter board activities in improving neck control and reducing dysphagia symptoms but also to enhance the quality of life for children with CP by integrating play into therapeutic practices The potential for significant findings could lead to innovative engaging therapy options that align with childrens natural tendencies towards play thereby enhancing therapy adherence and effectiveness
