Balancing Hope and Realism in Family-Centered Care: Physical Therapists’ Dilemmas in Negotiating Walking Goals with Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT The aims of this study were to explore physical therapists' beliefs about the value of walking for children with cerebral palsy (CP), how these beliefs inform therapy choices, and to describe how physical therapists engage families in decision-making regarding walking goals. Eight physical therapists who had experience working with children with CP each participated in a qualitative, one-to-one interview exploring their walking-related values, beliefs, and decision-making practices. The physical therapists' accounts demonstrated that they balanced their beliefs and professional expertise with families' goals in order to preserve families' hopes and maintain rapport, while also ensuring evidence-based and efficacious treatment plans were implemented. Participants experienced internal conflict when attempting to balance the principles of family-centered care with their personal beliefs and expertise. Further research will augment these findings and contribute to ongoing debates regarding rehabilitation best practices and family-centered care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
