To identify intervention categories encountered by physical therapists working in aquatic therapy with disabled children, using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth (ICF-CY).
Aquatic physical therapists were asked to describe concepts related to the functioning of disabled children and their contextual factors. Data were collected in three rounds using the Delphi technique. All answers were translated ('linked') to the ICF-CY and analyzed to determine the degree of consensus.
Answers were linked and organized into four diagnostic groups. Overall, in the four groups, 41 Body Functions, 8 Body Structures, 36 Activities and Participation, and 6 Environmental Factors categories were identified as intervention targets. In addition, 8 Environmental Factors that influence aquatic physical therapy were identified.
This study highlights the variety of intervention categories available to aquatic physical therapists when treating children in the water.
使用国际功能、残疾和健康分类-儿童和青少年版(ICF-CY),确定在水中为残疾儿童工作的物理治疗师所遇到的干预类别。
要求水上物理治疗师描述与残疾儿童的功能及其环境因素相关的概念。使用德尔菲技术分三轮收集数据。所有答案都被翻译成(“链接”)ICF-CY 并进行分析,以确定共识程度。
答案被链接并组织成四个诊断组。总体而言,在这四个组中,确定了 41 个身体功能、8 个身体结构、36 个活动和参与以及 6 个环境因素类别作为干预目标。此外,还确定了影响水上物理治疗的 8 个环境因素。
本研究强调了在水中治疗儿童时,水上物理治疗师可提供的各种干预类别。
