Modified Ride-on Cars as Early Mobility for Children with Mobility Limitations: A Scoping Review.
Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics 2018 December 29
AIM: This study aims to systematically examine and map current available evidence describing the benefits of modified ride-on car use for young children with mobility limitations and identify potential applications to occupational and physical therapy practice while illuminating gaps in knowledge to be explored in future research.
METHODS: An electronic database search, manual search of bibliographies, contact with existing networks and organizations were used to identify all relevant literature. Studies addressing modified ride-on toy use by children ≤6 years old with identified mobility delays were included. Data were extracted and analyzed independently by the investigators using a standardized process.
RESULTS: Thirteen case studies and one case controlled study involving children ≤6 years old with a variety of diagnoses were included in the review. Studies were at the activities and participation levels and focused on mobility, interpersonal interactions and relationships, communication, and Community, Social, and Civic Life.
CONCLUSION: Findings support the use of modified ride-on cars as a form of early mobility to encourage the development of social-emotional and mobility skills in young children with mobility limitations. Future research with valid, reliable outcome measures that address changes in developmental levels across domains is indicated.
