Supported standing and stepping device use in young children with cerebral palsy, gross motor function classification system III, IV and V: a descriptive study
This study described and compared use of supported-standing and stepping devices by young children with cerebral palsy, Gross-Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels III-V following power mobility introduction. Data was collected at two time-points, 5-6 months apart, for 42 participants, aged 18-80 months, using the Home Use of Technology for CHildren (HUTCH).
