Digital technologies can be used as part of paediatric motor rehabilitation to remediate impairment, promote recovery and improve function. However, the uptake of digital technologies in this clinical field may be limited.The aim of this study is to describe and explain digital technology use for paediatric motor rehabilitation. The specific objectives will be: (1) to describe the access to, acceptance of and use of digital technologies as a function of individual factors related to professionals practicing motor rehabilitation with children, and of environmental factors related to paediatric rehabilitation practice and (2) to explain digital technology use with a causal model based on the 'unified theory of acceptance and use of technology'.
RehaTech4child (Rehabilitation Technologies For children) is a cross-sectional study involving an online survey, that is sponsored by the European Academy of Childhood Disability (EACD). The survey protocol follows the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology and CHERRIES (Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys) guidelines. The survey includes 43 questions about (1) respondents' individual and environmental characteristics; (2) the ease of access to digital technologies, and the frequency, type and purpose of use of those technologies and (3) acceptance of technologies and barriers to their use. The survey is intended for professionals involved in paediatric motor rehabilitation. It is disseminated across Europe by the EACD network in 20 languages. Participation is anonymous and voluntary. We aim to include 500 respondents to ensure sufficient precision for the description of study outcomes and to perform stratified analyses by the main determinants.
Ethics approval was waived by the Brest CHRU Institutional Review Board. The study is conducted according to current French legislation (loi Jardé (n°2012-300)) and the survey is GDPR compliant. Study findings will be presented at national and international meetings and submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

数字技术可用于儿科运动康复的一部分，以矫正损伤、促进恢复和改善功能。然而，数字技术在这一临床领域的应用可能受到限制。本研究旨在描述和解释用于儿科运动康复的数字技术的使用。具体目标将是：(1) 描述数字技术的获取、接受和使用情况，这取决于与儿童运动康复相关的专业人员的个体因素，以及与儿科康复实践相关的环境因素；(2) 基于“统一技术接受和使用理论”，用因果模型解释数字技术的使用。
RehaTech4child（儿童康复技术）是一项横断面研究，包括一项在线调查，由欧洲儿童残疾学会（EACD）赞助。该调查方案遵循了加强观察性研究在流行病学中的报告规范和 CHERRIES（互联网电子调查报告检查表）指南。该调查包括 43 个问题，涉及(1) 受访者的个体和环境特征；(2) 数字技术的易用性，以及这些技术的使用频率、类型和目的；(3) 技术接受度和使用障碍。该调查面向参与儿科运动康复的专业人员。EACD 网络以 20 种语言在欧洲各地传播。参与是匿名和自愿的。我们的目标是纳入 500 名受访者，以确保对研究结果的描述具有足够的精度，并按主要决定因素进行分层分析。
布雷斯特 CHRU 机构审查委员会豁免了伦理批准。该研究符合现行法国法规（Jardé 法（n°2012-300）），调查符合 GDPR 要求。研究结果将在国家和国际会议上公布，并提交给同行评议期刊发表。
