Caregiver driven goals | Goal 1: stand pivot transfer goal | Goal 2: diaper changing goal | Goal 3: carrying goal |
---|---|---|---|
Initial evaluation score | –2 | –2 | –2 |
Score post each TX | 0 | 0 | 0 |
-2: baseline score taken at the initial evaluation (described as much less than the expected ability to assist with ADLs); 0: expected level of ease completing ADLs after each TX session. Caregiver-driven goals defined: goal 1: patient has sufficient LE PROM to extend legs toward the floor to bear weight and help withstand pivot transfers; goal 2: patient’s legs are relaxed and have sufficient PROM so the caregiver can easily open the legs during diapers changes; goal 3: patient’s legs are relaxed and have sufficient PROM so the caregiver can lift the patient, open the patient’s legs, and maneuver the patient onto the caregiver’s back so the caregiver can carry the patient

The Human Research Protection Office of the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus reviewed the study, Dry needling with electrical stimulation for the treatment of a pediatric patient with spastic cerebral palsy: a case report, and determined that the project met the definition of Not Human Subjects Research (NHSR).
