Our randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a Feldenkrais intervention on balance, gait, and single-task and dual-task mobility.
Thus, this study demonstrates benefits for single-task balance and mobility and a trend toward improved dual-task mobility in the experimental group compared with the control group.
There was a nonsignificant group × time interaction (P=0.067) for TUGc; however, the authors completed a post hoc analysis that demonstrated an improvement in dual-task mobility for the experimental group but no significant change for the control group.
For example, because cognitive task performance was not reported, it is unclear whether benefits in dual-task mobility came at the expense of declines in dual-task cognitive performance.
The primary outcome in this study is performance of functional tasks (mobility and self-care) as measured by the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) [ 65].
It addressed the following eight domains: vision; audition; communication; learning and application of knowledge and performance of tasks; mobility; self-care; domestic life; interaction and interpersonal relationships [ 16- 19].
The goal of this randomized controlled cluster design trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the task/context-focused approach with young children ages 12 months to 5 years 11 months with cerebral palsy compared to a child-focused approach to improve performance of functional tasks, mobility, participation in everyday activities, and quality of life.
Given the importance of exploration, we now introduce a new task in mobility prediction: exploration prediction.
To determine the relative and absolute reliability of a dual-task functional mobility assessment.
Carrying out household tasks, and mobility are other activities frequently limited [ 13].
Self-reported measures of physical disability assess difficulty, inability or degree of assistance required to perform specific tasks of mobility, household management or personal care[ 13].
