This study reports on a research project that aimed to extrapolate the value of the Training and Support Programme (TSP), involving massage, among children with cerebral palsy (CP). Data gathering included information from interviews with a sub-sample of children and the TSP therapist observation forms. Data were analysed using standard thematic content analysis to identify key themes and issues of importance to children. Results showed that children enjoyed the relaxing aspects of massage and reported a number of improvements in their health such as improved muscle relaxation, mobility and bowel movements, and reduced pain. Future studies may need to explore other ways of extrapolating data from this population and similar populations where communication is impaired due to disability, but at the same time ensure that their views are listened to and acted upon.
本研究报告了一项旨在推断培训和支持计划（TSP），包括按摩，对脑瘫（CP）儿童的价值的研究项目。数据收集包括对儿童亚样本和 TSP 治疗师观察表的访谈信息。使用标准的主题内容分析来识别对儿童重要的关键主题和问题。结果表明，儿童喜欢按摩的放松方面，并报告了他们的健康状况的一些改善，如肌肉放松、活动能力和肠道运动改善，疼痛减轻。未来的研究可能需要探索从这些因残疾而沟通受损的人群和类似人群中推断数据的其他方法，但同时也要确保他们的观点得到倾听和实施。
