简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate parental attitudes towards their child who has a mobility impairment, to using a modified electric toy car, and to evaluate from their perspective, if it facilitated social interaction for their child with mobility impairment.
详细描述
Project Aims:
The overall aim of the project is to investigate parental perspectives on the impact of using a modified electric toy car on social interactions of pre-school children with mobility impairments, over an 8 week period.
A secondary aim is to understand from the parent's perspective, features of the toy car they valued and features they feel could be changed to improve the experience for their child.
Methods:
Participants will be recruited via a charity in Northern Ireland who supports parents of children with Spina Bifida who have mobility impairments (SHINE). Once participants are confirmed, they will attend clinic appointments at Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast. At clinic, the principle investigator will complete an assessment of the child to determine what modifications are required to support the child in the toy car as well as modifications to access drive functions.
