Caregiver Perceptions of an Interdisciplinary Intensive Therapy Program: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers valued interdisciplinary intensive therapy. For children with complex rehabilitation needs, an interdisciplinary, intensive therapy program may be a viable alternative to traditional therapy models for service delivery.PMID:36637445 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000000994

Study Protocol: Multimodal Longitudinal Assessment of Infant Brain Organization and Recovery in Perinatal Brain Injury
DISCUSSION: This protocol will identify bioindicators of motor outcome and neuroplasticity and subsequently inform early detection, diagnosis, and intervention strategies for infants with perinatal stroke, brain bleeds, and related diagnoses.PMID:35385465 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000000886

Feasibility of High Repetition Upper Extremity Rehabilitation for Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest high repetition therapy is feasible in school-aged children with perinatal stroke, albeit with high individual variability. Multiple associations between repetition rates and baseline function and change point to the clinical importance of this measurable and potentially modifiable factor.PMID:34872435 | DOI:10.1080/01942638.2021.2010857

Cardiovascular Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Bimanual Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined cathodal tDCS to M1 and bimanual training does not influence autonomic and cardiovascular function in children with CP due to perinatal stroke. PMID: 33337767 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

First-Person Perspective Action Observation Training in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease: A Consideration-of-Concept Controlled Pilot Trial
Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that FPP AOT is a feasible intervention and the research protocol designed would be suitable, with minor modifications, for the conduction of a subsequent stage 2 trial designed to verify the hypothesis that the adjunct of FPP AOT might improve motor performance in individuals with IPD.

Newly Identified Gait Patterns in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis May Be Related to Push-off Quality.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on a small set of 9 variables measured with 2-dimensional clinical gait analysis, patients with MS could be divided into 3 different gait classes. The gait variables are suggestive of insufficient ankle push-off. PMID: 27174257 [PubMed - in process]

Measurement properties and feasibility of clinical tests to assess sit-to-stand/stand-to-sit tasks in subjects with neurological disease: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: The five-repetition sit-to-stand test was used more often in subjects with ND, and most of the measurement properties were investigated and showed adequate results. CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: Indivíduos acometidos por doença neurológica (DN) comumente apresentam limitação no desempenho do levantar/sentar em cadeira, com consequente redução do nível de mobilidade. OBJETIVO: Determinar as propriedades de medida/aplicabilidade de testes clínicos que avaliam o levantar/sentar em cadeira em indivíduos com DN. MÉTODO: Trata-se de revisão sistemática da literatura, seguindo o PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items...
