N2 - This single group pre and posttest study evaluated the feasibility of a new 10-week group-based motor skills enhancement intervention:
"Moving Together," and associated use of the
Challenge assessment and
Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL). Participant attendance/completion and satisfaction with the assessments and intervention were evaluated, and a first estimate of associated motor skill-related changes obtained. Ten ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (7-14 years) and their parents participated. Ninety percent of
Challenge sessions were attended and 82.5% of
GOAL questionnaires completed. Program attendance was 83% overall. Satisfaction with assessments was high for the
Challenge and moderate for the
GOAL, and intervention satisfaction was high. Mean change scores (95% CI) post-intervention for the
Challenge and
GOAL were 4.2 (-11.4 to 3.1) and 3.6 (-14.4 to 4.0) points (/100) respectively.
Challenge and
GOAL use was feasible and appropriate for "
MovingTogether" and associated with gains in motor skill performance and functional abilities.
