Official title: Does Hybrid Telehealth Physical Therapy for Children With Moderate to Severe Disability Improve Function in the Home Environment Better Than In-person Services Alone?--A Mixed Methods Study

Read the detailed description
The purposes of this study are to compare the impact of a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services to in-person services alone on the in-home functional skills of children with moderate to severe disability. Research questions include:
Is a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy service better than in-person services alone for improving in-home functional skills in children with moderate to severe disability?
Is there a difference in the satisfaction of caregivers and children with physical therapy services which consist of a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services compared to in-person services alone?
What is the experience of children and caregivers who receive a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services during an episode of care?

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy servicesOther
The experimental group will receive a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services to address an in-home functional skill in children with moderate to severe disability.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure
evidence-based outcome measure designed to capture a client's self-perception of performance in everyday living
Measured: after physical therapy episode of care an average of 12 weeks
Measures of Processes of Care (MPOC)
Survey tool which assesses parents' perceptions of the care they and their children receive from children's rehabilitation treatment centers. Designed to assess the family-centered behaviours of healthcare providers
Measured: after physical therapy episode of care, an average of 12 weeks
Change in Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory
Assess key functional capabilities and performance in children whose functional abilities are lower than those of seven-year-olds without disabilities
Measured: after physical therapy episode of care, an average of 12 weeks
Semi-structured interviews with caregivers and children in experimental group
Will follow an interview guide designed to capture the experiences of caregivers and children with telehealth
Measured: after physical therapy episode of care, an average of 12 weeks
