dc.description.abstract | Introduction: <br>Sensory-motor play is at the core of child development and an important element
in physical therapist(PT)s’ work to improve infants’ motor skills. In this study, we investigate
how PTs scaffold and use play in physical therapy intervention with preterm infants at corrected
age (CA) 3-14 months. <br>
Material and Methods:<br> We collected data by observing 20 physical therapy sessions. In the
analysis, we connected to enactive theory on cooperation. <br>
Results: <br>Successful use of sensory-motor play in physical therapy requires cooperation toward
common goals. This is achieved via an enactive therapeutic sensory-motor play approach, in
which the PTs plan and tailor the intervention to match the infant’s interests; attune themselves
to the infant’s intentions; and incorporate therapeutic measures in sensory-motor play
interactions with the child. <br>
Conclusions: <br>Via cooperation and mutuality in therapeutic interactions, PTs can provide play
situated learning opportunities that support the infants’ development and understanding of the
world. | en_US |
