Modified Sports Intervention Combined with a Context-Focused Intervention for Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Feasibility Randomised Clinical Trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims To investigate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a modified sports intervention (Sports Stars) combined with a contextual-focused approach (Pathways and Resources for Engagement in Participation- PREP).Methods This is a feasibility randomized clinical trial (RCT), registered under RBR-4m3b4b6 and U1111-1256-4998. Eighteen children with cerebral palsy (CP) were allocated to either the Sports Stars Brazil + PREP group (n = 9) or the Sports Stars Brazil group (n = 9). Feasibility outcomes included willingness to participate; acceptability of random allocation and screening; evaluator blinding feasibility; group contamination; treatment adherence and satisfaction; therapist communication; adverse events, and implementation resources. Effectiveness outcomes included performance and satisfaction with participation goals, participation pattern, physical literacy, family empowerment, and physical activity level. Descriptive statistics and tests were applied.Results Feasibility analysis showed a high completion rate and adequate satisfaction, credibility, and acceptability in both groups. Significant differences were found favoring the Sports Stars Brazil + PREP group in performance (p = 0.02) and satisfaction (p = 0.04); family empowerment at post-intervention (p = 0.005); and involvement in school (p = 0.04) at follow-up. No significant differences were found for other outcomes.Conclusions A future robust clinical trial appears feasible with adjustments. Combining a context-focused intervention with a modified sports approach shows potential to improve participation outcomes.

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.
