AIM: To summarize the best evidence of interventions for increasing physical
activity in children with physical disabilities. METHOD:
A systematic review was
conducted using an electronic search executed in Academic Search Elite, Academic
Search Premier, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PEDro, PsychINFO, and SPORTDiscus up to February 2016.
The selection of articles was performed independently by two
researchers according to predetermined eligibility criteria. Data extraction,
methodological quality, and levels of evidence were independently assessed by two
researchers using a data-collection form from the Cochrane Collaboration and
according to the guidelines of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and
Developmental Medicine. RESULTS: Seven studies were included. Five randomized
controlled trials ranged from strong level I to weak level II studies, and two
pre-post design studies were classified as level IV. There is level I evidence
for no effect of physical training on objectively measured physical activity,
conflicting level II evidence for interventions with a behavioural component on
the increase of objectively measured physical activity directly after the
intervention, and level II evidence for no effect during follow-up. Results are
limited to children with cerebral palsy as no other diagnoses were included.
INTERPRETATION: Increasing physical activity in children with physical
disabilities is very complex and demands further development and research.
