This study aims to identify eye-gaze control technology outcomes, parent perception of the technology and support received, and gauge the feasibility of available measures.
Five children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy, mean age 4 years, 4 months (1 year, 0 months); n = 4 males; trialled two eye-gaze control technology systems, each for six weeks. Parents completed pre- and post-questionnaires.
Parents found the 6-week home-based trial period to be the right length. Written guidelines and instructions about set-up, calibration, and play and learning activities were perceived as important. Children demonstrated improvements in goal achievement and performance. Parents found questionnaires on quality of life, participation, behaviours involved in mastering a skill and communication outcomes challenging to complete resulting in substantial missing data.
Eye-gaze control technology warrants further investigation for young children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy in a large international study.
本研究旨在确定眼动控制技术的效果、家长对该技术的认知及所获得的支持，并评估现有测量方法的可行性。
五名运动障碍型脑瘫儿童，平均年龄4岁4个月（1岁0个月）；n = 4名男性；试用了两种眼动控制技术系统，每种系统使用六周。家长完成了前后调查问卷。
家长认为为期6周的居家试验期时长合适。关于设置、校准以及游戏和学习活动的书面指南和说明被认为很重要。儿童在目标达成和表现方面有改善。家长发现关于生活质量、参与度、掌握技能所涉及的行为以及沟通结果的问卷难以完成，导致大量数据缺失。
在一项大型国际研究中，眼动控制技术值得对运动障碍型脑瘫幼儿进行进一步研究。
