Methodological issues regarding the heterogeneity of samples and measurement difficulties limit the conclusions that can be made about the clinical predictors of the outcomes. Studies are needed to better understand this aspect and to develop adequate EF interventions for children following stroke. PMID: 32969322 [P...

Determination of interventions for upper extremity tactile impairment in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review
This study reviewed interventions suitable for treating tactile dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy (CP). MethodA systematic review was conducted of six databases, searched for population: (‘brain injury’ OR ‘cerebral palsy’ OR ‘stroke’ OR ‘cerebrovascular accident’) and intervention: (‘tactile’ OR ‘sensation’). Inclusion criteria were: (1) published after 1950 in English; (2) participants older than 4 years with brain injury; (3) upper limb intervention; and (4) examined tactile registration or perception. ResultsOf 2938 studies identified, 30 met the inclusion criteria. Results from inclu...

Clinical and training practices: A survey of pediatric neuropsychologists serving inpatient rehabilitation
Child Neuropsychol. 2021 Nov 1:1-25. doi: 10.1080/09297049.2021.1993809. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeuropsychologists in inpatient pediatric rehabilitation settings collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to educate, evaluate, and provide intervention to patients with acquired brain injury and their families, but there are no known studies that describe or define these clinical services. Thirty-one neuropsychologists in pediatric inpatient rehabilitation settings completed an online survey. Neuropsychologists (68.2% female; 86.4% with PhD versus PsyD) from the U.S. and Canada, who represented 22 pediatric inpatient ...
