Brief Summary

On an individual level, the first expected benefit for the child using the "Kid'EM app" would be an improvement in the quality of his or her rehabilitation goals, which would be more Specific, Measurable, Activity-related, Realistic and Time-defined (SMART). A second expected benefit for the child, thanks to the work carried out in rehabilitation sessions on objectives adapted to his or her needs and day-to-day life, encouraging commitment and motivation, would be to improve the effectiveness of the care offered to him or her, thereby enhancing autonomy and physical health. For parents, taking part in goal-setting, by contributing their knowledge of their child and his or her daily life, would increase their involvement in their child's care and improve their satisfaction with the care offered. By setting SMART functional goals and facilitating communication between therapist, child and family, we expect to see a more child- and family-centred approach to care.

On a collective level, the "Kid'EM app" proposal would, as recommended by the WHO, improve professional rehabilitation practices and facilitate convergence towards good clinical practices for professionals (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, PRMs, etc.), thereby increasing the efficiency of the child rehabilitation care system.

If its value is demonstrated, the Kid'EM app could be adapted for children with other chronic illnesses requiring non-motor rehabilitation follow-up. The digitization of this goal-setting tool means that this low-cost practice could be widely disseminated.

GroupInterventionDescription
Kid'EM app" experimental groupKid'EM app" experimental groupThis group uses the Kid'EM app, which guides rehabilitation professionals in setting goals for each child. The app offers a variety of features, including the creation of patient accounts and records, identification of the child's likes and needs, definition of SMART goals, and spaces for exchanges with parents and other professionals. Parents also have access to the application.
Kidem app control groupKid'EM app control groupThis group uses a control app that offers no guidance or space for exchange with parents. Professionals use their usual strategy to set goals. The functionalities of the control app are more limited, focusing on creating the professional's account, filling in the first letter of the child's first and last name, selecting the child's pathology, identifying the child's tastes, and filling in the objectives without guidance.
