Abstract
AIM To examine participation-preference congruence, regional differences in participationpreference congruence, and predictors of whether children with cerebral palsy participate in preferred activities.
METHOD The sample (n= 236) included 148 males and 88 females aged 10 to 13 years, living in Victoria, Australia (n= 110), Ontario (n= 80), or Quebec (n= 46), Canada. Ninety-nine (41.9%) were classed at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I; 89 (37.7%) at GMFCS level II/ III; and 48 (20.3%) at GMFCS level IV/ V. Participants completed the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and Preferences for Activity of Children questionnaires. Regional comparisons were performed using one-way analyses of variance and factors influencing participation-preference congruence were explored using multiple linear regression.
RESULTS The proportion of children doing non-preferred activities in each activity type was generally low (2-17%), with only one regional difference. Higher proportions were not doing preferred active physical (range 23.2-29.1% across regions), skill-based (range 21.7-27.9% across regions), and social activities (range 12.8-14.5% across regions). GMFCS level was the most important predictor associated with not doing preferred activities.
INTERPRETATION Children with cerebral palsy did not always participate in preferred active physical and skill-based activities. Understanding discrepancies between preferences and actual involvement may allow families and rehabilitation professionals to address participation barriers.
