Telerehabilitation vs In-Person Therapy for Infants at Risk of Cerebral Palsy

A pilot randomized controlled trial assessed the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of functional physical therapy delivered via telerehabilitation or in-person to infants at risk of cerebral palsy. The study involved 14 infants over eight weeks, with motor function measured using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). The dataset, authored by Adriana Neves dos Santos and last updated in April 2026, contains feasibility and efficacy results from this trial.

Use Cases

• Compare intervention feasibility between telerehabilitation and in-person delivery based on recruitment and assessment metrics
• Analyze caregiver acceptability for different therapy modalities based on questionnaire data
• Evaluate motor function improvement over time based on Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) scores
• Assess dosage adherence gaps between planned and delivered interventions based on diary records

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured pilot randomized controlled trial with 14 participants
• Includes specific outcome measures like the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)
• Compares two distinct intervention modalities (telerehabilitation and in-person) over an eight-week period

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is small (1.2 MB), indicating limited scope
