Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It's expected to find that the telerehabilitation program is viable in terms of recruitment, evaluated retention rate, attrition rate, final retention rate, and final attrition rate. Data collected by therapists during recruitment and throughout therapy, and from diaries completed by caregivers at the end of the intervention (12 weeks);It's expected to find that the telerehabilitation program is feasible in terms of evaluation, evaluated by describing the number of children who completed the evaluations at the beginning of the intervention (by measure), the number of children who completed the evaluations in the middle of the intervention (by measure ), the number of children who completed the assessments at the end of the intervention (by measure), the number of children who withdrew from the assessment, the number of children who had some discomfort or adverse event (by measure), types of discomfort or adverse events during assessments (by measurement). Data collected by therapists through a form on the Google Forms platform sent to parents at the end of the 12 weeks and from diaries completed by caregivers at the end of the intervention;It's expected to find that the telerehabilitation program is viable in terms of intervention, assessed by the adherence rate by the number of days of intervention per week and total that were carried out, rates of withdrawals for some reason and days in which the intervention was not carried out and I reason and safety rates by the amount and type of adverse effects during the program. Data collected by therapists through a form on the Google Forms platform sent to parents at the end of the 12 weeks and from diaries completed by caregivers at the end of the intervention;It's expected to find that the telerehabilitation program will have little financial expenses, evaluated by family expenses with the provision of materials for the telerehabilitation program, family expenses with internet and expenses with the therapist.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It's expected that telerehabilitation will have positive scores for motor goals, assessed using the T-score of the Goal Attainment Scale. Data collected one week before the intervention, halfway through the intervention (6 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (12 weeks);It's expected that telerehabilitation presents low levels of stress, anxiety and depression, assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21. Data collected one week before the intervention and at the end of the intervention (12 weeks);It's expected that telerehabilitation will promote positive results in participation at home pre-intervention and post-intervention, assessments through the Participation and Environment Measure – Children And Youth. Data collected one week before the intervention, at the middle of the intervention (6 weeks) and at the final intervention (12 weeks);It's expected that telerehabilitation will promote positive results in the improvement of pre-intervention and post-intervention gross motor function, assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure. Data collected one week before the intervention, halfway through the intervention (6 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (12 weeks);It's expected that telerehabilitation promotes positive results in physical training, as assessed by the Timed Up and Go Test. Data collected one week before the intervention, at the middle of the intervention (6 weeks) and at the final intervention (12 weeks)
