“…Relationship between participation language and participation outcome measures 25,32,40 showed no overlap between the language subthemes derived from the text and those assigned to the measure and the remaining 20 demonstrated partial overlap. It was possible to assign all the language themes derived from the text of the included articles to at least one outcome measure, with the exception of the subtheme motivation.…”

“…The studies presented data for children aged 2.5 to 22 years. Studies focused on children with cerebral palsy (seven studies), 24,25,29,32,35,38,43 autism (six studies), 22,28,31,33,34,37 other conditions such as myelomeningocele or haemophilia (six studies), 27,30,39,41,44,45 or included mixed groups (six studies). 20,21,26,36,40,42 The context in which the interventions were implemented included private residences, schools/education centres, and hospitals and community health centres.…”

“…In 10 studies, participation was considered to be a primary outcome, 22,[27][28][29][30][33][34][35][36]42 in 11 studies a secondary outcome, 21,24,25,31,32,[37][38][39][40][41]44 and in four studies the primary outcome was unclear. 20,23,26,43 The definition of the measured construct for each included participation measure is provided in Table SIII.…”

“…The most common theme discussed by the studies and addressed by the chosen outcome measures was activity competence. Nineteen articles used language related to activity competence 23,25,[27][28][29][30][31][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] and all but five of these studies included a measure of competence. 23,30,40 A further five studies did not use language related to activity competence in the body of the article but included a measure that addressed this theme.…”

ICFInternational Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health QOL Quality of life PODCI Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument RCT Randomized controlled trial AIM Improving participation of children with disabilities is a priority; however, the participation construct lacks clarity. This systematic review investigated how researchers defined 'participation' and the language used in participation intervention research.METHOD Nine health and education databases were searched for intervention studies of children with disabilities that included a participation outcome. Quantitative data were extracted using a customized form, and participation text data were extracted verbatim. Themes were derived using a thematic coding approach. These participation themes were applied to the outcome measures used in the included studies to compare participation language with the methods used to quantify participation changes. RESULTSOf the 2257 articles retrieved, 25 were included in this review. Five participation themes and nine subthemes were developed. Two themes, attendance and involvement, were directly related to the participation construct. Three additional themes described related concepts: preferences, activity competence, and sense of self.INTERPRETATION Attendance and involvement seem to describe the essence of the participation concept. The related themes may provide important avenues to enhance participation outcomes. This review highlighted the need for researchers to define the construct under investigation clearly and select measures carefully, as measurement choice is the mechanism through which the concept is operationalized in research.The publication of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has resulted in an intensification of international interest in 'participation' as the ultimate health outcome. 1,2 The ICF defines participation as 'involvement in a life situation' 2 participation restriction is defined as 'problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations'.2 Because there is no universal acceptance of the definition of participation, a discourse in the literature has developed about how to operationalize the concept. 3,4 This is critical, because without clarity about the concept, defining outcome goals and developing scales and measures to assess participation outcomes will remain open to question as to whether the measures are fit for purpose.One part of the complexity of the conceptual issue is the fact that the World Health Organization did not clearly distinguish between activity and participation within their classification system, offering authors four methods for determining when participation rather than activity was being classified.1,2 This lack of distinction provides ample opportunity for varied interpretations of the concept under investigation and hence varied approaches to measurement, 5 leading to imprecision and confusion in what is found and reported.Several authors describe particip...

“…In contrast, an outcome of two studies showed muscle strengthening is not an effective intervention for improving mobility (McNee, Gough, Morrissey, & Shortland, 2009;Scholtes et al, 2010). Although current thought does not consider spasticity to be a contraindication for strength training, one study urged further research to determine negative effects on muscle length (Scholtes et al, 2011).…”
