Detailed description

Although emerging approaches have emerged in the design of interventions that promote an orientation towards physical activity scientific evidence on their efficacy in this particular population remains limited. This underscores the need for further research to evaluate the efficacy of these intervention approaches in the context of pediatric ABI.
