Study Summary
Children requiring inpatient rehabilitation treatment following acquired brain injury (ABI) are at risk for poor engagement in rehabilitative therapies. A within subject crossover design will be used to determine whether involving dogs in physical and occupational therapies while receiving inpatient rehabilitation improves patient engagement, how involving dogs improves engagement, and identify who is most likely to benefit. This project addresses the critical need to establish an evidence base for animal-assisted therapies in pediatric rehabilitation, incorporates innovative methods, and has the potential to lead to improved clinical care for children and adolescents receiving intensive rehabilitation following ABI.
Primary Outcome
Patient engagement/participation will be assessed via the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale (PRPS) is a 6-item Likert-type, clinician-rated measure that quantifies observed patient participation/engagement in their therapy sessions. Therapists will report their observations regarding patient's completion of exercises, effort applied to exercises, and level of support needed to complete activities.
