ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data on the effective intervention and treatment forchildren with cerebral palsy by analyzing the characteristics, assessment, and functional enhancement of ActionObservation Therapy (AOT) through a literature review. Methods: Pubmed, CINAHL was used to search for published papers up to May 2020. The main search terms used‘Cerebral palsy’, ‘Action observation’, and ‘Motion observation’, and included a total of 10 domestic and foreignpapers. Results: The age of the experimental group was for children with cerebral palsy from the preschool age to the earlyschool age from 5 to 10 years old, and there was diversity in the AOT application method. There were manyperformance-based assessment tools used, and Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), Melbourne Assessment ofUnilateral Upper Limb Function (MUUL), and measure of manual ability in children with cerebral palsy(ABILHAND-Kids) had the highest frequency of use. Conclusion: This study confirmed the diversity of behavioral observation intervention methods for children withcerebral palsy, while suggesting the need for guidelines for consistency of the program that can be used as basicdata for the preparation of AOT clinical evidence and further research.
