    • Embedding Play to Enrich Physical Therapy 

      Fiss, Alyssa LaForme; Håkstad, Ragnhild B.; Looper, Julia; Pereira, Silvana; Sargent, Barbara; Silveira, Jessica; Willett, Sandra; Dusing, Stacey C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-24)
      Play is an active process by which an individual is intrinsically motivated to explore the self, the environment, and/or interactions with another person. For infants and toddlers, engaging in play is essential to support development across multiple domains. Infants and toddlers with or at risk of motor delays may demonstrate differences in play or challenges with engaging in play activities compared ...
    • Enactive explorations of children's sensory-motor play and therapeutic handling in physical therapy 

      Håkstad, Ragnhild B.; Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Girolami, Gay L.; Dusing, Stacey C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-11)
      Introduction: In pediatric physical therapy, there is an ongoing debate about the use of therapeutic handling and its potential effects on motor learning. In this study, we build on enactive theoretical perspectives to explore the role of therapeutic handling in connection to children's sensory-motor play, engagement, and performance during a single physical therapy session.<p> <p>Material and ...
    • Hjertepasienters opplevelse av fysisk aktivitet og trening: En kvalitativ metasyntese 

      Weinschenk, Elisabeth; Nordhus, Maria Freim; Håkstad, Ragnhild B.; Müller, Margrethe; Thrane, Gyrd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-27)
      Bakgrunn: Treningsbasert hjerterehabilitering kan øke livskvalitet, bedre arbeidskapasitet og redusere risikofaktorer for reinnleggelse og kardiovaskulær død. Likevel klarer mange pasienter ikke fortsette med trening etter et rehabiliteringsopphold, og kun halvparten klarer å opprettholde det anbefalte nivået for fysisk aktivitet. Derfor er det viktig å undersøke hvilke erfaringer pasientene har med ...
    • Lek som terapeutisk virkemiddel i barnefysioterapi - Med fokus på sanse-motorisk lek i alderen 0 3 år. 

      Håkstad, Ragnhild B. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)
      Jeg fokuserer på hvordan vi kan tenke omkring koblingen mellom lek og læring, og hvordan vi som terapeuter kan lykkes med å jobbe lek-basert uten at dette spolerer barnets leke-opplevelse. Dette eksemplifiseres gjennom funn fra det pågående forskningsprosjektet «Lek som terapeutisk virkemiddel i barnefysioterapi».

    • Let's play! An observational study of primary care physical therapy with preterm infants aged 3-14 months 

      Håkstad, Ragnhild B.; Obstfelder, Aud; Øberg, Gunn Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      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 ...
    • A qualitative study of clinical reasoning in physiotherapy with preterm infants and their parents: Action and interaction 

      Håkstad, Ragnhild B.; Obstfelder, Aud; Øberg, Gunn Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-01-08)
      <i>Background</i>: Physiotherapists (PTs) in primary health care provide services to preterm infants and their parents after hospital discharge. The service should be collaborative and individualized to meet the family’s needs. In this study, we analyze pediatric PTs’ collaborative work in the clinical setting and investigate the PTs’ emerging clinical reasoning (CR) in interaction with the infant ...
    • A systematic synthesis of qualitative studies on parents’ experiences of participating in early intervention programs with their infant born preterm 

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Sørvoll, Marit; Labori, Cathrine; Girolami, Gay L; Håkstad, Ragnhild B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)
      Early intervention programs involving both the parent and the infant born preterm have demonstrated positive effects on developmental outcomes for the children. However, studies have also shown that parental engagement and adherence when implementing intervention programs can be challenging. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive description and new insights into key messages gleaned ...
