Exploring harmonic walking development in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and typically developing toddlers: Insights from walking experience
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 20;95:103218. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis longitudinal study investigated the impact of the first independent steps on harmonic gait development in unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children. We analysed the gait ratio values (GR) by comparing the duration of stride/stance, stance/swing and swing/double support phases. Our investigation focused on identifying a potential trend towards the golden ratio value of 1.618, which has been observed in the locomotion of healthy adults as a characteristic of harmonic walking. Locomotor ability ...

The Impact on Families of Children With Congenital Upper Extremity Differences
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers of children with congenital upper extremity differences report a significant impact on family life. Socioeconomic factors, such as economically disadvantaged or single-caregiver households, and clinical factors, such as bilateral upper extremity involvement, correlate with greater family impact. These findings represent opportunities to identify at-risk families and underscore the importance of caring for the whole family through a multidisciplinary approach.TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic II.PMID:38639681 | DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2024.02.011 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Malformations of cortical development: Fetal imaging and genetics
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that genetic testing, especially WES, should be performed for fetal MCD, in order to evaluate the outcomes and prognosis, and predict the risk of recurrence in future pregnancies.PMID:38634212 | DOI:10.1002/mgg3.2440 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Profile of paediatric occupational therapy practice in Eastern Mediterranean countries
CONCLUSION: Paediatric occupational therapists are usually exposed to specific age groups and conditions. However, a lack of knowledge practice in some areas and challenges in others exist.SIGNIFICANCE: Within the EM region, knowledge regarding therapists' practices is lacking. Actions should be taken to improve current practice and meet the current needs of clients, and utilise evidence-based practices.PMID:38631391 | DOI:10.1080/11038128.2024.2342536 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy)

Barriers and facilitators to parent-delivered interventions for children with or infants at risk of cerebral palsy. An integrative review informed by behaviour change theory
CONCLUSIONS: Fostering parent-delivered interventions requires addressing knowledge gaps, skill and capacity of parents and therapists. Therapists forming strong alliances with parents and setting collaborative realistic goals are key to successful parent-delivered interventions.PMID:38627931 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2338193 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
