Purpose

This study will examine physical activity, sleep, and quality of life in children with severe motor delays and their parents before and after an 8-week intervention using adaptive standers.

Parents with a child with severe motor delay will enroll with their child (up to 1 parent per child). Both parent and child will participate in one telehealth-supervised session per week and two unsupervised sessions per week. Both parent and child will wear activity trackers on the wrists and waist for 1 week before and 1 week after treatment in order to measure physical activity and sleep. Parents will also complete surveys on quality of life before and after treatment.
