Influence of musculoskeletal pain during gait on kinematics and selective motor control in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy: A pilot study
No significant differences in kinematics and selective-motor-control during gait were found between individuals with spastic cerebral-palsy, with and without musculoskeletal pain. This suggests that the individuals in this study may not present with obvious antalgic gait patterns, which may relate to the pre-existing altered kinematics and selective-motor-control.

Biomechanical gait parameters change with increasing virtual height in a child with spastic cerebral palsy: A case report
Key Clinical MessageVirtual height exposure coupled with motion capture is feasible to elicit changes in spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic gait parameters in a child with cerebral palsy and should be considered when investigating gait in real-world-scenarios. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Qualitative feedback from caregivers in a multidisciplinary pediatric neuromuscular clinic
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that caregivers believed the MDC model was both efficient and convenient for pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders. This model has the potential to streamline medical care and can be applied more broadly to improve care coordination for children with medical complexity.PMID:38427510 | DOI:10.3233/PRM-230011 (Source: Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine)

Effectiveness of simple and basic home-based exercise programs including pediatric massage executed by caregivers at their homes in the management of children with spastic cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: PM along with HEPs can be used effectively to reduce spasticity and to improve gross motor ability if performed for a period of at least six and 12 weeks respectively. In conjunction with HEPs, PM has better outcomes in the management of tone and movement disorders of spastic CP than HEPs alone.PMID:38427509 | DOI:10.3233/PRM-220135 (Source: Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine)
