This summary is machine-generated.

Perceived barriers to using modified ride-on cars decreased after 3 months of use. Environmental factors remained the most common obstacle for families of children with disabilities.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Rehabilitation
Assistive Technology
Disability Studies

Background:

Modified ride-on cars offer mobility and therapeutic benefits for young children with disabilities.
Understanding caregiver-perceived barriers is crucial for successful implementation and adoption of assistive devices.
Previous research has not extensively explored the dynamic nature of these barriers over time.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate changes in perceived barriers encountered by caregivers before and after a 3-month period of modified ride-on car use.
To identify specific types of barriers that are most prevalent and persistent.

Main Methods:

Qualitative content analysis of free-response survey data.
Participants included 14 caregivers of children using modified ride-on cars.

Data collected at two time points: pre-intervention and post-3-month intervention.

Main Results:

A total of 11 barriers were reported pre-intervention and 20 barriers post-intervention.
Environmental barriers were the most frequently reported category at both time points.
The number of reported barriers increased, suggesting a potential shift in awareness or type of challenges.

Conclusions:

Pediatric physical therapists should proactively identify and address caregiver-perceived barriers.
Individualized strategies are necessary to support families in overcoming challenges associated with modified ride-on car use.
Awareness of environmental barriers is critical for facilitating access and participation for children with disabilities.
