N2 - Background.: Hyperkinetic movement disorders (HMD) are a heterogeneous group of neurological conditions among which dystonia is the predominant disorder and dyskinetic cerebral palsy the largest secondary dystonia group. Currently, there are no evidence-based, non-medical management options for childhood HMD. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach is a task-oriented, performance-based intervention that focuses on participation. Purpose.: This paper reports the protocol for a proof-of-concept study to assess feasibility and preliminary evidence regarding efficacy of CO-OP for HMD following deep brain stimulation (DBS). Method.: A series of N-of-1 trials with replications will be conducted with children, ages 6 and 21 years with HMD and DBS as indicated by the Manual Ability Classification System. Ten individualized CO-OP sessions, with multiple baselines before, during, and after, will be completed. The primary outcome measures are the Performance Quality Rating Scale and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills. Outcome data will be plotted over time for each participant and supplemented with graph statistical analysis and effect size estimates. Implications.: A written protocol will be developed based on evidence and feedback incorporating any changes to the CO-OP intervention for children and young people with HMD, as per the Medical Research Council’s Framework for Complex Interventions.
