Abstract No: 404 Comparative Efficacy of Tactile Stimulation, Airway Clearance Technique, Kinesthetic Stimulation, Oromotor Stimulation (TAKO) Protocol Over Conventional Physiotherapy on Oro-Motor and Respiratory Complications in Infants with Pneumonia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
To determine the therapeutic efficacy of Tactile stimulation, Airway Clearance Technique, Kinesthetic Stimulation, Oromotor stimulation (TAKO) Protocol on Oro-motor and Respiratory Complications in Infants with Pneumonia.
Infants are vulnerable to complications arising from Pneumonia, and the TAKO Protocol represents a comprehensive approach that integrates multiple rehabilitation modalities to treat it. By conducting this pilot study, the research aims to provide robust evidence on the effectiveness of this protocol and provide valuable insights into infant care practices. The outcomes of this study have the potential to guide clinicians in optimizing rehabilitation interventions for infants with pneumonia, ultimately improving their oro-motor and respiratory outcomes and enhancing overall infant healthcare.
This trial included 10 infants aged one day to six months diagnosed with pneumonia.
This single-blinded (assessor-blinded) Randomized Controlled pilot study was undertaken at the Department of Neonatal and Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit, Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, India. In the intervention group (n=5), the infants received the TAKO protocol which included Tactile stimulations, manual airway clearance technique, Kinesthetic stimulation, and oromotor stimulations. The control group (n=5) got standard physiotherapy, which included chest physiotherapy. The intervention was implemented from the day of referral to the day of discharge.…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 10 participants or records.
