Physical Therapy Services During COVID-19 Pandemic: Perception of Families of Brazilian Children With Physical Disabilities
CONCLUSIONS: Social distancing impacted the health of children with physical disabilities, especially their physical conditions. Identifying facilitators and barriers for PT services can be helpful in future similar scenarios.Video abstract Supplemental Digital Content available at:http://links.lww.com/PPT/A503.PMID:38568269 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000001089 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Inspiratory Training for Improving Respiratory Strength, Pulmonary Function, and Walking in Cerebral Palsy: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review provides moderate-quality evidence that inspiratory strength training is effective for increasing inspiratory muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. Benefits may be carried over to improving expiratory muscle strength but were not observed on pulmonary function or walking capacity.PMID:38568267 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000001092 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Three-Dimensional Instrumented Gait Analysis for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline
CONCLUSIONS: This clinical practice guideline addresses 3D-IGA's utility to inform surgical and non-surgical interventions, to identify gait deviations among segments/joints and planes and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. Best practice statements provide guidance for clinicians about the preferred characteristics of 3D-IGA laboratories including instrumentation, staffing, and reporting practices.Video Abstract: Supplemental digital content available at http://links.lww.com/PPT/A524.PMID:38568266 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000001101 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Development and evaluation of a BCI-neurofeedback system with real-time EEG detection and electrical stimulation assistance during motor attempt for neurorehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy
In the realm of motor rehabilitation, Brain-Computer Interface Neurofeedback Training (BCI-NFT) emerges as a promising strategy. This aims to utilize an individual’s brain activity to stimulate or assist movement, thereby strengthening sensorimotor pathways and promoting motor recovery. Employing various methodologies, BCI-NFT has been shown to be effective for enhancing motor function primarily of the upper limb in stroke, with very few studies reported in cerebral palsy (CP). Our main objective was to develop an electroencephalography (EEG)-based BCI-NFT system, employing an associative learning paradigm, to improve se...

Simultaneous subtalar arthroeresis, midfoot soft tissue release, and talo-navicular arthrodesis in children with planovalgus neurologic foot
ConclusionsSuAE combined with TNA and midfoot soft tissue is a safe and feasible procedure that can provide good clinical and radiologic results in patients with neuromuscular disease and nonreducible PVFD; the procedure can improve foot stability, and has a limited number of complications.Level of EvidenceIV (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Validation of the Arabic Version of Feeding Handicap Index for Children with Developmental Disabilities (A-FHI-C)
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Apr 2. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06289-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren with developmental disabilities have different feeding and swallowing problems. The purposes of the present study were to develop an Arabic version of the FHI-C and to evaluate its validity, consistency, and reliability in Arabic children with developmental disabilities for assessing how feeding and swallowing problems impair the physical, functional, and emotional aspects of children's lives. A prospective study including 113 children [62 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 24 with cerebral palsy (CP), 27 wit...

A bibliometric analysis of cerebral palsy from 2003 to 2022
ConclusionThis study provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the CP-related literature. It reveals that Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology is the most active journal in this field. The USA, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Boyd are the top countries, institutions, and authors, respectively. Emerging treatment methods, complication management, and functional recovery comprise the future research directions and potential topic hotspots for CP. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Development and Implementation of an Early Detection Program: Pitfalls and Successes
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common disability in childhood, but often goes undiagnosed until age 2 years. Watchful waiting and monitoring have historically been practiced. International guidelines set forth in 2017 led to a paradigm shift towards early detection and intervention. Our institution, an affiliate of United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) with support from the Cerebral palsy foundation (CPF) has established an early detection program. Our objective is to share our program development process. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)
