Abstract
- To determine the efficacy of interventions with active parent implementation for young children with cerebral palsy (CP) to improve child and parent outcomes in low-middle income countries (LMICs). Five databases were systematically searched. Randomised or comparison studies evaluating interventions with the training of the parent and/or home practice components to implement with their child with CP (<60 months of age) were included. The modified Downs and Black scale assessed methodological quality. Data were pooled to calculate mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Searches yielded 189 unique articles. 11 studies from ten papers of moderate to high quality were included. Parent-implemented general developmental interventions had a small negative effect on gross motor function compared to interventionist-implemented therapy. Parent-implemented upper limb training compared to interventionist-implemented neurodevelopmental therapy had a small positive effect on bimanual hand function. Parent-implemented functional feeding training had a large significant effect on chewing function compared to parent-implemented oral motor exercises. Parent-implemented interventions targeting general child development and feeding had mixed effects on parent stress outcomes. Parent-implemented interventions in LMICs are promising to improve child bimanual hand and chewing function. Further research evaluating the efficacy of parent-implemented interventions to improve parent mental health is needed. Intensive motor training-based interventions with active parent implementation were effective to improve child gross motor, bimanual hand, and chewing function in young children with CP compared to passive, generic interventionist-implemented or health education interventions. Interventions with active parent implementation had mixed results to improve parent mental health, however, this was frequently not assessed. A consistent level of support and training provided to parents may be required to have a positive effect on parent stress. To further understand the feasibility of early interventions with active parent implementation in LMICs, data on adherence to home practice dose and session attendance and a qualitative understanding of contextual and child factors influencing parent implementation is needed.
