Changes in Vestibular/Ocular-Motor Screen Scores in Adolescents Treated With Vestibular Therapy After Concussion
Conclusions:
The VOMS measured moderately related functions and captured changes over the course of VPT. Clinicians should consider the contextual risk of “false positive” in their interpretation of VOMS. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Experiences of Parents of Infants Diagnosed With Mild or Severe Grades of Congenital Muscular Torticollis
Conclusions:
Parents are faced with a diagnosis that requires regular therapy visits and a challenging home program. A multimodal approach by clinicians for teaching and supporting parents during the episode of care may best address their unique challenges and stresses. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Associations Between Congenital Muscular Torticollis Severity and Physical Therapy Episode
Conclusions:
Of the 46 infants with complete care episodes, half had fully resolved all asymmetries. Units billed, episode duration, and total visits each increased across CMT severity grades 1 to 3. Cervical rotation restrictions correlated with total units billed, indicating a positive relationship between CMT severity and service utilization.
What This Adds to the Evidence:
This study supports that as CMT severity increases, physical therapy utilization increases for grades 1 to 3 of the 2018 CMT Severity Grading Scale. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Physical Therapy Management of Wiedemann-Steiner Syndrome From Birth to 3 Years
Conclusions:
Fifty-seven percent of children diagnosed with WSS have hypotonia, and 90% have developmental delay. The diagnosis of WSS should require physical therapy services through early intervention programs due to its high correlation with motor developmental delay and disability. Determination of progress should be measured with achievement of function rather than norm-referenced outcome measures.

Evidence-Based Secondary Transition Predictors for Physical Therapists Working With High School Students
Conclusions:
Physical therapists can provide critical expertise for many individuals with disabilities; however, they are not always included effectively in transition planning and services for students with disabilities.
Recommendations for Clinical Practice:
Recommendations for practice include ways to involve physical therapists in transition planning and services and increasing collaboration between teachers, physical therapists, and other members of the Individualized Education Program team to provide effective, comprehensive transition services.

Psychometric Properties of Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control in Infants and Toddlers With Down Syndrome
Conclusions:
Trunk control appears to play a central role in gross motor function of infants and toddlers with DS. The SATCo has good psychometric properties in this population.
What This Adds to the Evidence:
This study contributes to the literature on the psychometric properties of the SATCo and supports its use to measure trunk control in infants and toddlers with DS between the ages of 6 and 24 months. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)
