Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was to investigate the effect of biomechanical intervention, based on the custom seating system on the activities of a mouse click for children with cerebral palsy.
Methods: Thirteen children with cerebral palsy participated in this study. We compared reaction time and frequency for proper mouse click in the subject’s typical position, in addition to an intervention position. The intervention position conformed to the principle and practice of research on promoting the upper-extremity movement and postural control. The intervention position was achieved through an external postural support, which was based on the custom seating system.
Results: Reaction time and frequency for proper mouse click were moderately improved in the intervention position, compared with that of the typical position. There was a statistically significant difference between the typical position and that of the intervention position (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Results provide evidence of the positive effects of functional seating on the activities of a mouse click for children with cerebral palsy.
