The aim of this integrative review is to synthesize the evidence of
association between motor functioning and leisure participation of children with
physical disability. METHOD:
We conducted a systematic electronic search of key
databases from the period 1 January 2001 to 30 April 2014 using relevant
keywords. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of the
qualitative and quantitative studies included and carried out in children with
physical disability aged 6 to 12 years. We synthesized and compared information
from both type of studies to identify the extent, and way by which, motor
functioning influences leisure participation. RESULTS: Thirty-five studies were
included and analyzed for this review. Twenty-four studies used quantitative and
11 studies used qualitative methodology. We identified the association between
motor functioning and six dimensions of participation including diversity,
intensity, context, preferences, enjoyment and quality of participation. Motor
functioning was found to have a weak to moderate association with involvement in
specific leisure activity types and dimensions. We developed a conceptual
framework to illustrate the influence of motor functioning on leisure
participation from this review. INTERPRETATION: Whether motor functioning poses a
barrier to leisure participation for children with physical disability appears to
depend on the functional movement required to participate in a particular leisure
activity.
