Parental involvement in pediatric physical therapy (PT) is as effective as therapy without parents. Including mothers in sessions can lead to achieving therapy goals more quickly.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Physical Therapy
  • Child Development
  • Family-Centered Care

Background:

  • Children with physical disabilities often receive physical therapy without parental presence.
  • This practice is based on assumptions that parental involvement may interfere with therapy or distract the child.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of physical therapy programs with and without parental involvement.
  • To evaluate the impact of maternal presence on therapy outcomes for children with physical disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study design was employed.
  • Effectiveness was measured by comparing therapy outcomes in sessions with and without parental involvement.

Main Results:

  • Physical therapy training with a mother present was found to be as effective as training without her.
  • Therapists achieved therapy goals in a shorter period when working with parents compared to sessions without parents.

    • Conclusions:

    • Parental involvement, specifically maternal presence, does not hinder the effectiveness of pediatric physical therapy.
    • Incorporating parents into therapy sessions may enhance efficiency and expedite goal achievement for children with physical disabilities.
