Scootering for Children and Youth Is More Than Fun: Exploration of a Feasible Approach to Improve Function and Fitness
Conclusions:
Scootering is a feasible, functional, and fun activity that has the potential to address many aspects of fitness, function, and gait; meet the needs of families; and provide opportunities for interaction with friends. It is a physical therapy intervention that has the potential to contribute to future health and well-being of children with disabilities.

Neonatal PT Improves Neurobehavior and General Movements in Moderate to Late Preterm Infants Born in India: An RCT
Conclusion:
The SNP may be effective in improving some aspects of neurobehavior and quality of GMs in MLP infants.
What this adds to the evidence:
The addition of a structured neonatal physical therapy program to usual care can promote neurobehavioral organization and improve the quality of general movements in moderate and late preterm infants in India. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination Clinical Use to Recommend Therapist Assessment of Functional Hand Asymmetries
Conclusions:
For infants receiving a total HINE asymmetry score of 4 or greater, referral to therapists for HAI assessment may be beneficial to precisely evaluate function and determine the need for targeted upper extremity interventions. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Motor Developmental Delay After Cardiac Surgery in Children With a Critical Congenital Heart Defect: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-analysis
Purpose:
To systematically review evidence regarding the severity and prevalence of motor development in children with a critical congenital heart defect (CCHD) without underlying genetic anomalies.
Summary of Key Points:
Twelve percent of all included studies reported abnormal mean motor developmental scores, and 38% reported below average motor scores. Children with single-ventricle physiology, especially those with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, had the highest severity and prevalence of motor delay, particularly at 0 to 12 months. Most included studies did not differentiate between gross and fine motor dev...

Experiential Learning in Pediatric Physical Therapist Education: Faculty and Student Perceptions
Conclusions:
Use of and satisfaction with EL with children in physical therapists' education vary. Continued research on this variation and potential effects to educational outcomes is needed.
This study aimed to describe use of experiential learning (EL) with children in entry-level doctor of physical therapy programs. Experiential learning is a recommended educational strategy for building physical therapy knowledge and skills. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)
