The problem
Intervention: Weekly group running intervention combined with a home exercise programme delivered over 10 weeks in a private paediatric therapy clinic
Who it was tested with: 8 children aged 10-15 years with symptomatic paediatric generalised joint hypermobility (6 male, 2 female) recruited from a private clinic in Australia.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Children with pgGJH undertook a weekly group running intervention and home exercise programme (HEP) for 10 weeks. Feasibility of delivery in a private paediatric therapy clinic was determined using physical and self-reported measures for acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, integration and intervention efficacy." This demonstrates a systematic feasibility evaluation using multiple methods to assess whether the intervention is deliverable and acceptable, which is appropriate for early-stage research on understudied populations.
Small sample size (n=8), no control or comparison group, lack of objective outcome measures specified, and no long-term follow-up data. High cost per participant and need for 1:3 therapist ratio limit scalability.
