Abstract in brief

  • This study compared a physiotherapist-led, task-specific bicycle riding training program to a parent-led home program for children with cerebral palsy (CP), finding that the physiotherapist-led approach was more effective in helping children achieve their biking goals.
  • The primary measure was goal attainment one week after training, with the physiotherapist-led group showing significantly better results both then and at three months, indicating long-term benefits.
  • Secondary outcomes included improvements in bicycle skills, participation, functional skills, self-perception, physical activity, and quality of life, emphasizing the broader positive impact of focused, professional guidance on children's motor and psychosocial development.
