What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate changes in functional abilities and psychosocial outcomes in children with congenital upper limb differences through a 12-week adaptive rock climbing program. The study also seeks to understand barriers that children may face in participating in adaptive sports, providing valuable insights to support these children's physical and emotional well-being. Participants will take part in a behavioral intervention involving an adaptive rock climbing program held once a week for twelve weeks. This program is designed specifically for children aged 6 to 16 with unilateral or bilateral congenital upper extremity differences. The study does not include a comparison group but focuses on measuring changes within participants over the 12 weeks. Children and their parents will be involved in assessments at the start and end of the program. Researchers will measure range of motion, muscle strength, and several quality of life indicators including life satisfaction and pediatric global health scores. They will also assess barriers to participation in adaptive sports after the program. The total participation period covers the 12-week intervention with evaluations at baseline and after 12 weeks.
