Spanish eTIPS for Early Therapy in Perinatal Stroke
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Perinatal Stroke and Risk of Unilateral Cerebral Palsy, Early Parent-delivered Home-based Intervention, Spanish Cross-cultural Adaptation of eTIPS
In brief
This study adapts and evaluates the Spanish version of eTIPS, an early home-based therapy program for infants at risk of unilateral cerebral palsy after perinatal stroke. The project has three parts: translation and cultural adaptation of the original materials, a pilot randomized feasibility study comparing eTIPS with usual care, and a qualitative study exploring family experiences, barriers, and facilitators to using the program at home. In the first part, the study team will translate and culturally adapt the eTIPS materials for Spanish-speaking families, review them with experts, and test whether the content is clear, relevant, and usable. In the second part, families with infants diagnosed with perinatal stroke or at high risk of unilateral cerebral palsy will be assigned to either the eTIPS program or usual clinical care to assess recruitment, retention, adherence, safety, acceptability, and preliminary effects on infant motor development and family outcomes. In the third part, caregivers in the intervention group will take part in interviews to better understand how the program fits into daily life and what could improve future implementation.
