Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Results on functional level of the shoulder:
1. Mallet Score (active shoulder function): 5 items (scores: II-IV);
2. Range of Motion (ROM, passive shoulder function): 7 items (degrees).
Results on activity level of the shoulder:
1. ABILHAND-children: 21 items (scores: impossible, difficult, easy).
Secondary outcome
Same as the primary. The only difference is that the execution of shoulder related sports is included as physiotherapy minutes. The distribution of the participants in the above mentioned groups will change and probably also the outcomes.
The classification of the two groups will be the same.
Background summary
A cross-sectional study will be executed by which a group children with OBPL who received frequently physiotherapy will be compared with a group of children with OBPL who received less frequent physiotherapy.
The results of both groups will be compared on shoulder mobility, arm-hand function and arm-hand ability.
The frequency and duration of the physiotherapy, the executed sports and measured Mallet scores in the past will be collected by retrospective research.
Both Belgium and Dutch children with OBPL are invited. Belgium children receive in general more often physiotherapy than Dutch children. For reaching sufficient participants in both classification groups it is important to have participants with much and less physiotherapy.
Study objective
The expectation is that children with OBPL who received more physiotherapy have a better shoulder function than children with OBPL with less received physiotherapy.
Study design
One measure moment at present for the Mallet score, the ROM and the ABILHAND-Kids.
Previously measured ROM and Mallet scores.
Intervention
Classification of two groups:
1. High frequent physiotherapy group:
Children with OBPL who received weekly ≥60 minutes of physiotherapy during their life;
2. Low frequent physiotherapie group:
Children with OBPL who received weekly <60 minutes of phsyiotherapy during their life.
