JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Development and evaluation of rehabilitation, physiotherapy and assistive technologies, robotics, prosthetics and implants, mobility and communication tools, home automation, and telerehabilitation See our COVID-19 Papers and Special Issues Parents’ perspectives on a computer game-assisted rehabilitation program for manual dexterity in children with Cerebral Palsy: Qualitative analysis of expectations, child engagement, and benefits Background: A computer game-based rehabilitation (GRP) platform was developed that combines fine manipulation and gross movement exercises with engaging game activities appropriate for young children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). A mixed method and randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to examine the feasibility and to estimate effect size of two exercise programs for rehabilitation of manual dexterity of children with Cerebral Palsy: one using the GRP or the conventional therapy. Objective: Objectives of the present qualitative analysis were to investigate parents’ perspectives and opinions about expectations, challenges, and benefits between the two interventions. Methods: Parents of twenty-six of the children who completed the GRP program (n=33) and parents of fifteen of the children who completed the conventional therapy program (n=27) participated in the interviews. General conductive approach was used to analyse the data recorded during parents’ interviews. Results: Five themes captured the range of parent’s experiences, viewpoints, and ideas. They were 1. Parents’ expectations, 2. Child’s Engagement with Therapy, 3. Positive Effects of Interventions, 4. Challenges, and 5. Improving the Protocol. Conclusions: Parents from both groups recognized that their expectations related to improving children’s object handling and manipulation skills including participation in activities of daily life (ADL) were addressed during the 16-week therapy program. Parents perceived a change in the children’s level of independence in their daily tasks at home, school, and leisure activities. Clinical Trial: http:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02728375 Date Submitted: Sep 15, 2020 Open Peer Review Period: Sep 15, 2020 - Nov 10, 2020 Peer-Review Me Special Theme Issue / e-Collection 2020: The Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Rehabilitation” in JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies 2020-06-08 Since early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the practice of rehabilitation has had to adapt as in-person therapy has been cancelled or modified, staff have been redeployed and survivors of COVID-19 need rehabilitation to continue their recovery. Sharing research on these new interventions will enhance the ability of all who work in the area of rehabilitation to provide the most appropriate care. JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies is welcoming manuscripts on new and innovative research. Priority will be given to original research as well as review papers. Editorials and perspectives will be considered only after pre-approval for submission from the editor. Authors are welcome at any time before submission to receive feedback and input on their paper ideas from the editor or editorial board.Possible topics include:Adapting rehabilitation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (e.g., use of PPE, how to implement physical distancing)Treatment of patients recovering from COVID-19The use of novel rehabilitation techniques or assistive technologies to deliver care at this time (ex. telerehabilitation)Shifts in patient presentation (e.g., the change in the type of cardiac conditions seen because patients are delaying care)Other JMIR journals are also soliciting COVID19 papers which will be reviewed and published within 2-3 weeks.All articles submitted to this theme issue will be shared and published rapidly through the following mechanisms:JMIR Preprints are immediately available after submission (with DOI); authors should select the preprint option on submission. Preprints already submitted to MedRxiv can be transmitted to JMH via the M2J interfaceFree fast-tracking, rapid peer-review, and publication within 1-3 weeksFree “PubMed Now!” feature, ensuring that the paper is submitted to and searchable on PubMed within 24 hours after acceptance (fees are waived)Accelerated production timelines upon APF payment after acceptanceAll peer-reviewed research publications in this theme issue are immediately and permanently made open access—this is of course the standard for JMIR journalsSpecial tagging of the XML of the published paper for priority release on PubMed Central (in collaboration with NCBI)Questions regarding this Theme Issue should be directed to Lisa Sheehy(Guest Editor), LSheehy@bruyere.org or the editorial team at ed-support@jmir.org.How to submitPlease submit toJMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologiesby selecting "Special Theme Issue/e-Collection 2020: The Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Rehabilitation” in the "Section" drop-down list.See also “How do I submit to a theme issue?” in our knowledge base. Read Post JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies is a PubMed-indexed journal that focuseson the development and evaluation of rehabilitation and assistive technologies, including assistive living.As an open access journal, JMIR Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies is read by both clinicians and patients. The journal fosuses on readable and applied science that reports the design and evaluation of health innovations and emerging technologies. It publishes original research, viewpoints, and reviews (both literature reviews and medical device/technology/app reviews).
