Concurrent Validity of the School Outcomes Measure and the School Function Assessment in Elementary Students
Conclusions:
Overall, student performance on the SOM was consistent with participation on the SFA, which lends support to the preliminary validity of the SOM. The GMFCS analysis suggests that the SOM differentiates between the GMFCS levels for physical tasks. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Advancing the Evidence Base of Pediatric Physical Therapy: “Sincerely, From the Heart”
Conclusions:
I encourage everyone to reflect on who has been or could be your mentors or mentees, and on how you can be a part of an effective, family-centered research team, by encouraging a breadth of research designs to answer the many research questions that remain and by assisting in the implementation of knowledge to practice.
Clinical Relevance:
Outcomes for children and families receiving pediatric physical therapy services are enhanced through the use of evidence-based knowledge. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Motor Development and Health-Related Fitness in Trisomy X: A Case Report
Purpose:
This case study provides information regarding the motor development and health-related fitness level of a female with 47,XXX. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children–Second Edition (MABC-2) and the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition (TGMD-2) batteries were used to assess motor competence and gross motor development, respectively. Cardiorespiratory, muscular fitness, and flexibility were assessed by means of field-based tests. Two groups of children developing typically were used for comparison purposes.
Summary of Key Points:
Results from the MABC-2 indicated that the participant was place...

Feasibility and Reliability of Functional Mobility Measures in Children With Cri du Chat (5P−) Syndrome
Conclusions:
The Timed Up and Go, 5 times sit-to-stand test, and Timed Floor to Stand are feasible and reliable tools for children with TD between ages of 5 and 15 years; however, may require modifications to the protocols to be feasible in children with CdCS. The 4 Square Step Test is not a feasible tool for children with CdCS. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Development and Content Validity of the Clinical Assessment of Body Alignment for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Conclusion:
Content validity of the CABA was supported. Construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness require further study. What this adds to the evidence: The CABA has potential to offer clinicians and researchers a clinically practical measure of postural alignment for children with cerebral palsy. Preliminary investigation of CABA shows good content validity. However, more studies to assess the assessments' psychometrics including construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness are required. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)

Perceived Barriers of Modified Ride-On Car Use of Young Children With Disabilities: A Content Analysis
Conclusions:
Pediatric physical therapists play a critical role in working with families to promote their self-efficacy for using the modified ride-on car and their capacity for overcoming the inherent difficulties associated with use. Most of the reported perceived barriers are modifiable, at least to some degree, with likely effects on modified ride-on car use. (Source: Pediatric Physical Therapy)
