Cluster-randomized trial on Akwenda Intervention program for children and young people with cerebral palsy in Uganda: functioning and activity outcomes

This was a cluster-randomized, controlled, single-blinded study on a cohort of children and young people with CP in the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site. The CP cohort was divided in two arms: one receiving the Akwenda Intervention program, and the other serving as control waiting to receive the intervention the following year. Children with seizures in both groups were provided anti-seizure medications. Outcomes were assessed prior to and after the intervention period.
