Abstract
AIM To establish the scope of the literature on modified sports interventions for children and adolescents with disabilities. METHOD For this scoping review, articles were screened and the characteristics of studies were extracted. The modified sports interventions were described in terms of their structure, using the items of the Template for Intervention Description and Replication. Components of intervention treatment were described by using the language of the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System. Results were analysed and validated by a group of professionals, using the Public and Patient Involvement strategy. RESULTS Twelve studies were eligible for inclusion, investigating interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and other conditions. Most studies presented a moderate level of evidence. Active ingredients were repeated sports-related motor training and introduction to the sport through a 'learning by action' mechanism. The intervention target was gross motor skills performance, and intervention aims (indirect outcomes) were physical activity participation and different body functions. INTERPRETATION The inclusion of stakeholders in this review helped to validate our findings about the characteristics and structure of modified sports interventions, to identify research gaps, and to provide a step process for clinical implementation. Future investigations are warranted of the effectiveness of modified sports investigations with better quality studies, including participation outcomes and studies with non-ambulant children. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Modified sports interventions target sport-related skills performance and aim to achieve physical activity participation and body functions. These interventions included group-based, sports-related motor skills training and introduction to sports in real-world environments. They are offered mostly for ambulant children with autism spectrum disorder and cerebral palsy. Most studies of modified sports interventions presented moderate level of evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the practices of pediatric physical therapists (PTs) working with children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) in Brazil. METHODS PTs working with children and adolescents with CP were invited to participate via social media and email campaigns to complete an online survey containing 46 questions. RESULTS In total, 373 PTs participated. Most PTs reported searching in scientific databases (96.8%) and on social media (71%). The main barrier to information reported was limited access to full-text articles (44%). Among the PTs, 58.4% and 84% reported using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and family centered practice models, respectively. Regarding tools and interventions, there was little focus on the domains of contextual factors and participation. CONCLUSIONS This survey points to some important advances. However, strategies are still needed to promote knowledge translation and evidence-based practices among pediatric PTs in Brazil.

Abstract
ResumoObjetivoRefinar o Relato Familiar da Motricidade Grossa (GM‐FR) utilizando a contribuição dos pais e avaliar as suas propriedades psicométricas.MétodoNeste estudo metodológico, 12 pais de crianças e adolescentes com paralisia cerebral (PC), com idade entre 2 e 18 anos, classificados em todos os níveis do Sistema de Classificação da Função Motora Grossa (GMFCS), foram entrevistados sobre sua experiência na conclusão do GM‐FR (validade de conteúdo). O feedback dos pais foi usado para refinar o instrumento que foi então preenchida por 146 famílias para avaliar a consistência interna, e a validade discriminativa e concorrente. 46 pais completaram o GM‐FR novamente, 7 a 30 dias depois, para avaliar a confiabilidade teste‐reteste.ResultadosA pontuação do GM‐FR, as imagens, as descrições e o número total de itens foram revisados com base no feedback dos pais. O GM‐FR versão 2.0 demonstrou alta consistência interna (α de Cronbach = 0,99), ausência de efeitos piso/teto e excelente confiabilidade teste‐reteste (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse = 0,99). Os escores do GM‐FR discriminaram entre os níveis do GMFCS (p < 0,05) e foram fortemente correlacionados negativamente com o nível do GMFCS (r = −0,92; p < 0,001). Os escores do GM‐FR correlacionaram‐se de forma positiva e forte com o Gross Motor Function Measure‐66 (r = 0,94; p < 0,001) e com o domínio de mobilidade do Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – Computer Adaptive Test (r = 0,93; p < 0,001).InterpretaçãoA participação ativa das famílias no desenvolvimento do GM‐FR facilitou a criação de um instrumento amigável à família. Este estudo fornece fortes evidências de confiabilidade e validade para apoiar o uso do GM‐FR na prática clínica e em pesquisas para avaliar o desempenho motor grosso de crianças e adolescentes com PC.

Abstract
ResumoObjetivoAnalisar os efeitos de um programa domiciliar individualizado via telessaúde no desempenho de objetivos funcionais de crianças e adolescentes com paralisia cerebral (PC) durante a pandemia de COVID‐19.MétodoUm estudo de intervenção prospectivo de único grupo com crianças/adolescentes com PC (n = 144; idade mediana = 92 meses [Q1 = 44.0, Q3 = 148.8]; 74 meninos, 70 meninas), representando todos os níveis do Sistema de Classificação da Função Motora Grossa (GMFCS), participaram de um programa domiciliar de 4 meses no Brasil. Equipes interdisciplinares encorajaram famílias a escolher um objetivo funcional a ser treinado. A Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional (COPM) foi usada no período pré‐intervenção (T1), pós‐intervenção (T2) e 3 meses de follow‐up (T3). As diferenças nos escores da COPM em T1, T2 e T3 foram avaliadas usando o teste de Friedman. O tamanho de efeito foi calculado usando o teste d de Cohen. Análise univariada foi incluída.ResultadoMelhoras significativas foram observadas após a intervenção, com manutenção dos escores após 3 meses (p < 0.001; ddesempenho = 1.33; dsatisfação = 1.31). Nenhuma das variáveis testadas (habilidades das crianças, idade, nível educacional do cuidador, percepção de centrado na família e tipo de objetivo) foram significativamente relacionados às mudanças nos escores.InterpretaçãoO programa domiciliar individualizado via telessaúde pode ser uma intervenção potencial, especialmente para crianças classificadas nos níveis IV e V do GMFCS. Além disso, essa intervenção forneceu uma possível solução para ajudar crianças e suas famílias no desempenho de objetivos funcionais prioritários durante o período de pandemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience limitations in self-care and household tasks. The aim of the study was to understand the process of building independence in self-care and household tasks from the perspective of adolescents and their caregivers. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach with 10 adolescents (15-17 years old) and 11 caregivers from a transition service in Brazil. Semistructured, remote interviews were conducted with each participant. The interviews were recorded for transcription and content analysis. RESULTS Two thematic categories emerged: (1) "Thinking about independence" and (2) "Possible ways to foster independence." The first category was divided into three subcategories: "Expectations and the desire to be independent," "Obstacles to independence," "Concerns about the future." The second category was divided into four subcategories: "People and places," "Opportunities for practice," "Personal attitude" and "Adaptations that facilitate." CONCLUSION Adolescents' independence in several everyday activities involves physical, socioemotional and environmental aspects. Enabling opportunities for practice, an adapted environment, support from rehabilitation services and developing collaborative relationships with caregivers are elements that may favor the independence of adolescents with CP.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the effects of an individualized telehealth home programme on the performance of functional goals of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD A prospective single-group intervention study with children/adolescents with CP (n = 144; median age = 92 months [Q1 = 44.0, Q3 = 148.8]; 74 males, 70 females), representing all Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels participated in a 4-month home programme in Brazil. An interdisciplinary team encouraged families to choose a functional goal to be trained. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used at pre-intervention (T1), post-intervention (T2), and 3-month follow-up (T3). The differences in COPM scores at T1, T2, and T3 were evaluated using Friedman's test. The effect size was calculated using Cohen's d. Univariate analysis was included. RESULTS Significant improvements were observed after the intervention, with maintenance of scores after 3 months (p < 0.001, dperformance = 1.33; dsatisfaction = 1.31). None of the tested variables (child's abilities, age, caregiver's educational level, perception of family-centredness, and type of goal) were significantly related to the change scores. INTERPRETATION The individualized remote telehealth home programme can be a potential intervention, especially for children with CP classified in GMFCS levels IV and V. Also, this intervention provided a possible solution to help some children and their families in performing prioritized functional goals during the pandemic period.

Abstract
This single-participant case study examines the feasibility of using custom virtual reality (VR) gaming software in the home environment for low-dose Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Training (HABIT). A 10-year-old with right unilateral cerebral palsy participated in this trial. Fine and gross motor skills as well as personal goals for motor outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention using the Box and Blocks Test, Nine-Hole Peg Test, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Movement intensities collected via the VR hardware accelerometers, VR game scores, and task accuracy were recorded via the HABIT-VR software as indices of motor performance. The child and family were instructed to use the HABIT-VR games twice daily for 30 minutes over a 14-day period and asked to record when they used the system. The child used the system and completed the 14-hour, low-dose HABIT-VR intervention across 22 days. There was no change in Box and Blocks Test and Nine-Hole Peg Test scores before and after the intervention. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores increased but did not reach the clinically relevant threshold, due to high scores at baseline. Changes in motor task intensities during the use of VR and mastery of the VR bimanual tasks suggested improved motor efficiency. This case study provides preliminary evidence that HABIT-VR is useful for promoting adherence to HABIT activities and for the maintenance of upper extremity motor skills in the home setting.

Abstract
Neurorehabilitation is the primary therapy for neurological impairment in children, yet its potential to achieve change remains incompletely understood and probably underestimated. Understanding 'the difference neurorehabilitation can make' against a background of neurological repair and recovery as well as ongoing neurological development is an enormous challenge, exacerbated to no small extent by the lack of a 'common currency' for the description and measurement of the neurorehabilitation services a child is receiving. This review addresses attempts to parse neurorehabilitation treatment content in theoretically and mechanistically valid ways that might help address this challenge.

Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) in upper limb produces functional, aesthetic and hygienic issues, and is not always amenable to surgical procedures. We are reporting a single-center, long follow-up experience with tendon transfer in wrist and forearm CP. The CP cases who had undergone tendon transfer in hand, wrist and forearm in a 14-year period were evaluated for change in motion, function and cosmetic appearance and also assessed by Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), and Dash (Disability of Arm, Shoulder, Hand) scores. Forty-two spastic CP patients with a mean age of 19.81 (10-34 years, SD: 5.36) years with a mean follow-up of 5.5 (2-14) years, entered the study. 24 cases were GMFCS I or II and 18 were III or IV. Supination beyond neutral was seen in 48.5%, and improvement in MACS scores in all the cases. Improved 'grasp' and 'release' and keyboard use was seen in 50%, 71% and 87% respectively. The satisfaction from appearance and improved function of 83-96% correlated positively with GMFSC, MACS and DASH scores. Noticeable improvement in personal hygienic care was seen in only 52% of cases. Tendon transfer in well-selected spastic upper extremity CP cases results in long-time improved function, and limb appearance - correlating with initial GMFCS and MACS scores.

Abstract
ResumoObjetivoMapear os ingredientes das intervenções não invasivas fornecidas às crianças deambuladoras com Paralisia Cerebral (PC).MétodoOs artigos foram selecionados e as características dos estudos extraídas. Os ingredientes das intervenções foram descritos em termos do Sistema de Especificação de Taxonomia de Reabilitação (RTSS) e vinculados às minhas palavras favoritas. Os resultados foram interpretados e validados por meio da abordagem de Envolvimento de pacientes e do Publico em Pesquisa (EPP).ResultadosSessenta e um artigos foram incluídos, dos quais 55,5% foram classificados como ensaios clínicos randomizados. Os estudos selecionados incluíram um total de 2187 crianças (a idade média variou de 3 meses a 5,9 anos), a maioria de países desenvolvidos. Os estudos incluídos investigaram um total de 27 intervenções, que juntas apresentaram ingredientes representando todas as minhas palavras favoritas, na seguinte ordem de frequência: “Saúde” (ex., treinamento de força e resistência), “Funcionalidade” (ex., prática ativa e repetitiva de uma tarefa), “Família” (ex., terapia focada no contexto), “Diversão” (ex., inclusão de atividades amistosas para crianças), “Amigos” (ex., atividades em grupo) e “Futuro” (ex., compartilhamento de informações didáticas). Assim, os ingredientes relacionados à palavra “Futuro” foram os relatados com menos frequência.InterpretaçãoTerapeutas e famílias precisam estar cientes da correspondência mais apropriada entre as metas elencadas por meio das minhas palavras favoritas e os objetivos, ingredientes e alvos das intervenções. Finalmente, “Diversão”, “Amigos” e “Futuro” devem ser abordadas como desfechos potenciais em estudos futuros.

Wang B, Huang H. Effects of various exercise interventions on motor function in cerebral palsy patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Neurol Sci 2024:10.1007/s10072-024-07741-z. [PMID: 39190170 DOI: 10.1007/s10072-024-07741-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE A network meta-analysis was utilized to compare the rehabilitative effectiveness of different exercise interventions on motor function in cerebral palsy(CP) patients. METHODS Computer searches were conducted across 9 databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and others, to identify randomized controlled trials focusing on different exercise interventions aimed at enhancing motor function in CP patients. The search spanned from the inception of the databases to January 31, 2024. RESULTS 20 articles, encompassing 570 patients and evaluating three types of exercise interventions, were included in the analysis. Results showed that aerobic training, resistance training, and mixed training exhibited superior outcomes compared to the control group, as evidenced by improvements in Gross Motor Function Measure scores, muscle strength, gait speed, and 10-Meter Walk Test scores (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the network meta-analysis revealed that resistance training ranked highest in enhancing gross motor function and gait speed among CP patients, while mixed training was deemed most effective in improving muscle strength and 10-Meter Walk Test scores. CONCLUSION Exercise interventions have been shown to significantly improve motor function in CP patients. Among these, resistance training and mixed training stand out for their effectiveness in enhancing walking capabilities. Resistance training is specifically aimed at improving gross motor function, while mixed training focuses on increasing muscle strength.

F-words ingredients of non-invasive interventions for young ambulant children with cerebral palsy: A scoping review. Dev Med Child Neurol 2024. [PMID: 39187986 DOI: 10.1111/dmcn.16074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
AIM To map the ingredients of non-invasive interventions provided to young ambulant children with cerebral palsy. METHOD Articles were screened and each study's characteristics extracted. The intervention ingredients were described in terms of the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System and linked to the 'F-words'. Results were interpreted and validated by a patient and public involvement group. RESULTS Sixty-one papers were included, of which 55.5% were classified as randomized controlled trial design studies. The selected studies included a total of 2187 children (mean age range 3 months to 5 years 11 months), most from high-income countries. The included studies investigated a total of 27 interventions, which together presented ingredients representing all F-words, in the following order of frequency: 'fitness' (e.g. strength and endurance training), 'functioning' (e.g. active and repetitive practice of a task), 'family' (e.g. context-focused therapy), 'fun' (e.g. inclusion of child-friendly activities), 'friends' (e.g. group activities), and 'future' (e.g. didactic information sharing). Thus, ingredients related to the F-word 'future' were the most infrequently reported. INTERPRETATION Therapists and families need to be aware of the most appropriate match between the F-word goals, ingredients, and targets. Finally, 'fun', 'friends', and 'future' should be addressed as potential outcomes in future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of exercise intervention on postural balance, gait parameters, and muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy by quantifying the information from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS We conducted a systematical search for RCTs from the databases, including PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus using a between-group design involving children with cerebral palsy and assessing the effect of exercise intervention on postural balance, gait parameters, and muscle strength. The specified inclusion criteria were determined by the PICOS tool. The outcomes of included studies were evaluated by meta-analysis, and subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to analyze the observed heterogeneities using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata version 18.0. The revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was used to evaluate the risk of bias and quality of the included studies. RESULTS Twenty-four studies were included in this meta-analysis, with 579 children with cerebral palsy. Exercise intervention showed a statistically significant favorable effect on gross motor function (SMD = 0.32; 95%CI [0.03 to 0.61]; I2 = 16%), anteroposterior stability index (SMD = -0.93; 95%CI [-1.69 to -0.18]; I2 = 80%), and mediolateral stability index (SMD = -0.60; 95%CI [-1.16 to -0.03]; I2 = 73%) compared to control group among children with cerebral palsy. None of the above meta-analyses exhibited publication bias, as indicated by Egger's test with p-values greater than 0.05 for all. CONCLUSIONS Exercise is effective in improving gross motor function and balance in children with cerebral palsy. Due to the lack of studies examining the efficacy of each exercise type, we are unable to provide definitive training recommendations.

Abstract
ResumenLa actual práctica de desarrollo Bobath recomendada dentro del Marco de Razonamiento Clínico Bobath (BCRF) puede conceptualizarse utilizando la visión de la ciencia de los sistemas. Proporciona, así, una perspectiva holística de la interrelación e interconexión de las variables asociadas con la discapacidad aparecida durante la infancia. El BCRF se define como un marco exhaustivo de razonamiento clínico que puede aplicarse para ayudar a comprender las relaciones entre los dominios de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud, cómo se puede influir en esos dominios y cómo influyen entre sí. El BCRF es un sistema de observación transdisciplinario y de razonamiento práctico que da lugar a un plan de intervención. Esto proporciona una comprensión holística de la complexidad de las situaciones asociadas a trastornos como la parálisis cerebral (PC) y la base para la gestión y habilitación a lo largo de la vida de personas que viven con trastornos neurológicos. El razonamiento clínico utilizado por el BCRF se basa en los importantes factores contextuales del individuo y su entorno social, principalmente la unidad familiar. Se basa en la comprensión de las interrelaciones entre el desarrollo típico y atípico, la fisiopatología (sensoriomotora, cognitiva, conductual) y la neurociencia, así como el impacto de funciones y estructuras corporales sobre la actividad y la participación. El modelo de ciencia de sistemas del BCRF es una forma útil de comprender y responder a la complejidad de la parálisis cerebral, con el objetivo global de optimizar la experiencia vivida de todo individuo en cualquier contexto.

Abstract
ÖzetBobath Klinik Gerekçelendirme Çerçevesi (BKGÇ) içerisindeki önerilen güncel gelişimsel Bobath uygulaması sistemler bilimi merceği kullanılarak kavramsallaştırılabilir ve bunu çocukluk çağı engelliliği ile ilişkilendirilen değişkenlerin birbirine bağlılığı ve etkileşimine bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla sağlar. BKGÇ, İşlevsellik, Yetiyitimi ve Sağlığın Uluslararası Sınıflandırması (ICF)’nın alt boyutları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu alt boyutların birbirini nasıl etkilediğini anlamak için uygulanabilen derinlemesine bir klinik gerekçelendirme çerçevesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. BKGÇ, bir tedavi planı ile sonuçlanan klinik gerekçelendirme ve transdisipliner gözlemsel bir sistemdir. Bu sistem ise, serebral palsi (SP) gibi bozuklukların karmaşıklığını anlamak için bütüncül bir anlayış sunar ve nörolojik bozukluğu olan bireylerin yaşam boyu tedavisi ve rehabilitasyonu için temel oluşturur. BKGÇ tarafından kullanılan klinik gerekçelendirme, başta aile birimi olmak üzere bireyin ve sosyal çevresinin önemli bağlamsal faktörlerine dayanmaktadır. Tipik ve atipik gelişim, patofizyoloji (sensorimotor, bilişsel, davranışsal) ve sinirbilim arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkilerin ve bu vücut yapı ve fonksiyonlarının aktivite ve katılım üzerindeki etkisinin anlaşılmasına dayanır. BKGÇ'nin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan sistemler bilimi modeli, SP'nin karmaşıklığını anlamak ve buna yanıt vermek için yararlı bir yoldur; kapsayıcı hedef, herhangi bir bağlamda herhangi bir bireyin yaşadığı deneyimi optimize etmektir.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to assess the impact of integrating ATLAS 2030 into the conventional therapy regimen for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) compared to conventional therapy alone regarding gross motor function, range of motion (ROM) and spasticity. Design A non-randomized controlled trial conducted in outpatient rehabilitation settings and special education schools, following the recommendations by the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement. Participants Thirty children with CP divided into intervention and control groups. Intervention The intervention group received three months of therapy (twice per week) with the ATLAS 2030 device in addition to their standard therapy, while the control group underwent standard therapy alone. Main outcome measure Gross motor function assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure of 88 items (GMFM-88). Secondary outcomes Spasticity, measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and ROM of the lower limbs. Results Statistically significant differences were observed between groups, in favour the intervention group, in both the GMFM-88 total score and dimension A, B and D. Similar findings were noted for spasticity and ROM, demonstrating significant improvements in the intervention group. Conclusion ATLAS 2030 proves to be a safe and valuable tool for the rehabilitation of children with CP, showing improvements in motor function, spasticity and ROM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Cerebral palsy (CP) causes movement and posture challenges due to central nervous system damage, requiring lifelong management. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was limited access to facility-based treatments, which increased the demand for home-based therapies and digital resources. We analyzed the qualitative and quantitative aspects of YouTube videos focusing on CP therapy for children. METHODS A total of 95 videos were evaluated for content quality using the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) tool and Global Quality Scale (GQS). The therapeutic program efficacy was assessed via the International Consensus on Therapeutic Exercise and Training (i-CONTENT) tool, Consensus on Therapeutic Exercise Training (CONTENT) scale, and Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT), and popularity was measured by the video power index (VPI). RESULTS YouTube-based therapeutic videos for children with CP generally exhibit reliability in video content and effectiveness in therapeutic programming, and no correlations were found between video popularity and quality. However, the qualitative analysis reveals insufficient mention of uncertainty in the treatment principles within the video content as well as a lack of detailed treatment descriptions encompassing aspects such as intensity, frequency, timing, setting, outcome measurement during and post-treatment, and safety considerations within therapeutic programs. In particular, this tendency was consistent regardless of the uploader's expertise level and the classification of the neuromotor therapy type in contrast to that of the exercise type. CONCLUSIONS YouTube-based content for CP children still has significant limitations in how substantive viewers, such as caregivers, can acquire tailored information and apply practical information to their exercise and treatment programs.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) require intensive task-oriented training to make meaningful gains in affected upper extremity (UE) motor function. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acceptability and utility of single joystick-operated ride-on toy (ROT) navigation training incorporated into a modified constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp for children with HCP. DESIGN Single group pretest-posttest design. SETTING Three-wk structured CIMT camp. PARTICIPANTS Eleven children with HCP between ages 3 and 14 yr. INTERVENTION Children received group-based CIMT for 6 hr/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk. As part of camp activities, children also received ROT navigation training for 20 to 30 min/day, 5 days/wk, for 3 wk. OUTCOMES AND MEASURES We assessed children's acceptance of ROT training by monitoring adherence and evaluating child engagement (affect and attention) during training sessions. The effects of ROT training combined with other camp activities on children's affected UE motor function were also assessed with the standardized Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and training-specific measures of ROT maneuvering accuracy. RESULTS Children demonstrated high levels of training adherence, positive affect, and task-appropriate attention across weeks. Positive engagement during ROT sessions was correlated with independent navigation. We also found medium- to large-sized improvements in QUEST scores and toy-maneuvering capabilities after the combined program. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our pilot data support the use of joystick-operated ROTs as child-friendly therapy adjuncts that can be incorporated into intensive UE training programs to improve adherence and motivation in therapy programs, boost treatment dosing, and promote affected UE motor function in children with HCP. Plain-Language Summary: This pilot study offers promising evidence that supports the use of modified single joystick-operated ride-on toys (ROTs) for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP). The study used ROTs as one of several interventions that were part of a constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) camp program for children with HCP. The ROTs boosted children's motivation, their engagement with and adherence to training, and their practice in using their affected upper extremity (UE) for goal-directed activities in their natural settings. ROTs are accessible, age-appropriate, and easy-to-use devices for both occupational therapy clinicians and families to encourage children to use their affected UEs by challenging their perceptual, motor-planning, problem-solving, and movement-control skills in an enjoyable and engaging way. ROTs can be used within and outside conventional rehabilitation settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a home program for a child with medical complexity using an over-ground body weight support (BWS) system. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Children with medical complexity often use home programs due to challenges with regular therapy attendance. In this case, effective home program components including child centered design, family leadership, and best practice principles were prioritized around the PUMA (portable mobility aid for children). This BWS system was to be used for 1 hour per day to support mobility and active play. STATEMENT OF CONCLUSIONS The CMC and family demonstrated high adherence, using over-ground BWS 87% of the 135 days it was accessible with an average daily usage of 59 min spread across 1-3 bouts per day. The average daily fun index during usage was 7/10. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE This home program demonstrated over-ground BWS technology as a feasible, fun platform for functional mobility and socialization in a child with significant medical and physical limitations.

Effects of a 12 week community-based high-level mobility programme on sustained participation in physical activity by adolescents with cerebral palsy: a single subject research design study. Disabil Rehabil 2024; 46:3408-3418. [PMID: 37712610 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2023.2256225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess if a high-level mobility programme (HLMP) can promote sustained participation in physical activity by adolescents with cerebral palsy. METHODS Eight adolescents with cerebral palsy, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-II, 11-16 years, participated in 24 community-based group HLMP sessions across 12 weeks. Participants set attendance, involvement, and physical performance goals, completed activity diaries over 58 weeks and undertook physical capacity tests. Measures of activity frequency and diversity (attendance) and involvement level were collected weekly across baseline (4-6 weeks), intervention (12 weeks), and nine months follow-up (including Covid lockdown). RESULTS Median attendance was 23 of 24 HLMP sessions. Attendance goal/s attainment was highest during COVID lockdown. Involvement goals were consistently attained throughout all phases. Physical performance goal/s attainment was highest during intervention phase but reduced during nine months follow-up. Frequency of participation in physical activities varied greatly across study phases (range 0-33 episodes/week) with stable variety of activities and generally high 'involvement.' During the intervention, seven participants improved physical capacity and six maintained, or increased, the gains six months later. CONCLUSION Most participants improved physical capacity post-intervention but only some had sustained attendance and involvement in physical activity, highlighting the complexity of physical activity participation.

Abstract
AIM To explore the perceptions of parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) participating in a modified sports intervention, Sports Stars Brazil. METHOD Parents of children with CP (n = 15, 6-12 years old, nine males, six females), classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I and II, who participated in the Sports Stars Brazil intervention, were recruited for this descriptive qualitative study. Children received the 8-week (1 hour per week) modified sports intervention. After the intervention, parents participated in a focus group. The F-word (fitness, family, fun, functioning, friends, and future) interpretation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health was used to guide the discussion. Participants were invited to report their experience of participating in the intervention using the F-words for a childhood disability model. Transcripts were coded using content analysis. RESULTS Parents reported positive experiences of the Sports Stars Brazil intervention, including a decrease in sedentarism (fitness), improvement of motor skills (functioning), greater connection between child and family (family), better socialization (friends), increased participation in pleasurable activities (fun), and awareness of the importance of physical activity (future). All positive experiences were interconnected. INTERPRETATION This study presents the ability of the Sports Stars Brazil intervention to integrate all aspects of functioning and supports its role as an engaging and promising intervention option for ambulant children with CP. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS The parents of children participating in Sports Stars Brazil perceived benefits across all F-words. This modified sports intervention integrated all F-words into one concept.

Abstract
Children functioning at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV-V cannot maintain an aligned standing position or take steps without support. Upright positioning and mobility devices have psycho-social significance for these children and their families, enhancing use of vision, communication, functioning and emotional well-being. Standers and supported stepping devices facilitate opportunities for biomechanical loading, potentially helping to build and maintain muscle and bone integrity, and they promote physical development. However, families are often required to choose between these two devices for their young child. This study aims to synthesize evidence for use and benefits of both supported standing and stepping devices through the lens of two contemporary theoretical frameworks to support clinical reasoning and implementation. The F-words for childhood development (functioning, family, fitness, fun, friends, future) and the interdependence-Human Activity Assistive Technology (iHAAT) models were combined to illustrate the complex interactions between the child, family, caregivers, peers and contextual factors when implementing standing and stepping devices with children at GMFCS levels IV and V. Supported standing and stepping devices provide complementary benefits, and both may be necessary starting at 9-15 months. We propose they both be included ON-Time, along with other age-appropriate positioning and mobility devices, to promote more equitable developmental opportunities for children with non-ambulant cerebral palsy.

Abstract
AIM To examine child-led goal setting and evaluation tools and approaches for children with a disability or developmental delay. METHOD Six databases were searched for studies that included population (children aged less than 18 years with disability or developmental delay); construct (child-led goal setting tool or approach); and context (developmental therapy or rehabilitation). The utility of tools and approaches across the goal setting and evaluation process was investigated using abductive content analysis. RESULTS Fifty articles met the inclusion criteria. Three approaches and four tools for child-led goal setting and evaluation were identified. No studies reported the clinimetric properties of tools specifically for child self-respondents. Qualitative analysis revealed six distinct goal phases in which tools and approaches were used, which were synthesized into a new framework for child-led goal setting and evaluation titled DECIDE: Direct children to goal setting; Elicit goal topics and priorities; Construct a goal statement; Indicate baseline goal performance; Develop an action plan to address the goal; and Evaluate goal progress after the intervention. INTERPRETATION Children actively participated in goal setting and evaluation across six DECIDE goal phases. Further clinimetric information is required to support use of goal setting and evaluation tools with child self-respondents. Future research should emphasize the development of multi-phase goal setting tools and approaches for diverse populations of children.

Abstract
The current recommended developmental Bobath practice within the Bobath Clinical Reasoning Framework (BCRF) can be conceptualized using the lens of systems science, thereby providing a holistic perspective on the interrelatedness and interconnectedness of the variables associated with childhood-onset disability. The BCRF is defined as an in-depth clinical reasoning framework that can be applied to help understand the relationships between the domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, how those domains can be influenced, and how they impact each other. The BCRF is a transdisciplinary observational system and practical reasoning approach that results in an intervention plan. This provides a holistic understanding of the complexity of situations associated with disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP) and the basis for the lifelong management and habilitation of people living with neurological disorders. The clinical reasoning used by the BCRF draws on the important contextual factors of the individual and their social environment, primarily the family unit. It is rooted in an understanding of the interrelationships between typical and atypical development, pathophysiology (sensorimotor, cognitive, behavioural), and neuroscience, and the impact of these body structure and function constructs on activity and participation. The systems science model integral to the BCRF is a useful way forward in understanding and responding to the complexity of CP, the overarching goal being to optimize the lived experience of any individual in any context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sports participation for people with disabilities exists at the intersection of health, sport, and education sectors. However, no common framework and language exist to describe the stages of sports participation. OBJECTIVE To present the background to the SPORTS Participation Framework, and how it can be used to illuminate the path that people with disability may travel to enter into, participate in, and enjoy and excel at all levels of sport. METHOD The SPORTS Participation Framework includes six stages drawn from mainstream sports pathways and models used to classify barriers to sports participation for people with disabilities: (S) Screening, goal setting and individual preparation, (P) Practitioner led, peer-group sports interventions, (O) Organised junior entry-point sports programs, (R) Recreational sport (non-competitive), (T) Team competition (school/club representation), and (S) State, National, and International competition. RESULTS For each stage, this paper describes the content of sports activities, the context in which they are performed, key stakeholders, barriers to participation, available evidence, and case studies. CONCLUSIONS The SPORTS Participation Framework presents a structure to navigate the stages of introducing and promoting lifelong sports participation for people with disabilities. It scaffolds clear communication, governance, and policy across health, sport, and education sectors, and supports clinicians and researchers to address barriers to participation at each stage to improve individual and population-wide participation in sport for people with disabilities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of postural control and upper extremity functional capacity on functional independence and identify whether quality of upper extremity skills mediates the effects of postural control on functional independence in preschool-age children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS 106 children with CP -mean age 43.4 ± 11.3 (24-71 months)- were included in this cross-sectional study. Postural control, upper extremity functional capacity, and functional independence in activities of daily living were evaluated using the Early Clinical Assessment of Balance (ECAB), Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), and the Functional Independence Measure of Children (WeeFIM), respectively. A path model was used to evaluate the total, direct, and indirect effects. RESULTS According to the path model, ECAB (direct effect; r = 0.391, p < 0.01, indirect effect; r = 0.398) and QUEST (direct effect; r = 0.493, p < 0.01) had an impact on WeeFIM. In addition, QUEST had mediating effects on the relationship between ECAB and WeeFIM. The path model explained 71% of the variation in functional independence of the participants. CONCLUSION In the management of CP in preschool-age children, the focus should be on improving not only upper extremity capacity but also postural control to help improve functional independence in activities of daily living.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While constraint-induced movement therapy is strongly recommended as an intervention for infants with unilateral cerebral palsy, the optimal dosage remains undefined. This systematic review aims to identify the most effective level of intensity of constraint-induced movement therapy to enhance manual function in infants at high risk of asymmetric brain lesions or unilateral cerebral palsy diagnosis. METHODS This systematic review with meta-analysis encompassed a comprehensive search across four electronic databases to identify articles that met the following criteria: randomised controlled trials, children aged 0-6 with at high risk or with unilateral cerebral palsy, and treatment involving constraint-induced movement therapy for upper limb function. Studies with similar outcomes were pooled by calculating the standardised mean difference score for each subgroup, and subgroups were stratified every 30 h of total intervention dosage (30-60, 61-90, >90 h). Risk of bias was assessed with Cochrane Collaboration's tool. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included. Meta-analyses revealed significant differences among subgroups. The 30-60 h subgroup showed a weak effect for spontaneous use of the affected upper limb during bimanual performance, grasp function, and parents' perception of how often children use their affected upper limb. Additionally, this subgroup demonstrated a moderate effect for the parents' perception of how effectively children use their affected upper limb. CONCLUSIONS Using a dosage ranging from 30 to 60 h when applying a constraint-induced movement therapy protocol holds promise as the most age-appropriate and cost-effectiveness approach for improving upper limb functional outcomes and parent's perception.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop the Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids and to examine its psychometric properties for Japanese children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS The experimental version of 75 items was developed using forward-backward translation method. Parents of 137 children with CP answered it. Their responses were analyzed to successive items, and psychometric properties of the final version were investigated through the Rasch measurement model. RESULTS The Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids contained 22 items. It showed valid item-patient targeting, no significant floor and ceiling effects, and no differential item functioning for demographic and clinical subgroups. All items contributed to the definition of one-dimensional measure. For internal consistency, the person separation index was 0.94. For test-retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.92-0.98). The minimal detectable difference was calculated with a logit score of 0.79 and a total raw score of 4.50. The logit score showed a strong correlation with the Manual Ability Classification System level (ρ= -0.70) and the Gross Motor Function Classification System level (ρ= -0.62). CONCLUSIONS The Japanese version of the ABILHAND-Kids was found to be valid and reliable. It appears to be a good tool for assessing manual abilities in daily activities in children with CP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of inspiratory strength training on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and walking capacity in children with cerebral palsy, with Gross Motor Function Classification System I to III. METHODS Searches were conducted in CINAHL, LILACS, MEDLINE, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) databases. The outcomes of interest were respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, and walking capacity. The quality was assessed by PEDro Scale. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to summarize the quality of evidence. RESULTS Inspiratory strength training increased the strength of inspiratory muscles and may increase the strength of the expiratory muscles. No changes were observed in pulmonary function or walking capacity. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides moderate-quality evidence that inspiratory strength training is effective for increasing inspiratory muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. Benefits may be carried over to improving expiratory muscle strength but were not observed on pulmonary function or walking capacity.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:408. [PMID: 38671624 PMCID: PMC11048905 DOI: 10.3390/children11040408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) require task-oriented practice several hours per week to produce meaningful gains in affected upper extremity (UE) motor function. Clinicians find it challenging to provide services at the required intensity and sustain child engagement. This pilot study assessed the acceptance and utility of a child-friendly program using dual-joystick-operated ride-on toys incorporated into an intensive UE rehabilitation camp. Eleven children with UCP between four and 10 years received ride-on-toy navigation training for 20-30 min/day, five days/week, for three weeks as part of camp programming. We report session adherence and percent time children spent in task-appropriate attention/engagement across sessions. The overall effects of camp programming on children's motor function were assessed using the Shriner's Hospital Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE) from pretest to posttest and using training-specific measures of bimanual UE use and navigational accuracy. Children showed excellent adherence and sustained task-appropriate engagement across sessions. The combined program led to improved navigational accuracy (p-values ≤ 0.007) as well as spontaneous affected UE use during bimanual activities outside the training context (p < 0.001). Our pilot study provides promising evidence for using modified, commercially available ride-on toys to incentivize rehabilitation and boost repetitive, task-oriented UE practice among children with UCP.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:457. [PMID: 38541183 PMCID: PMC10972358 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60030457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Physical exercise is known to have beneficial effects on psychosocial well-being and cognitive performance. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) showed lower levels of physical activity (PA) than healthy children; this fact, in addition to the basic clinical condition, increased the sedentary habit with a psychological impact and motor impairment of these children. Furthermore, children and adolescents with CP are less committed to sports activities than typically developing children of the same age. The aim of the present narrative review was to increase the amount of knowledge regarding the effectiveness and importance of specific and individualized sports in children with CP. A comprehensive search of MED-LINE and EMBASE databases was performed, including specific search terms such as "cerebral palsy" combined with "sport", "physical activity", and the names of different sports. No publication date limits were set. We included studies with an age range of 0-18 years. The main results pointed out that most of the sports improved motor function, quality of life, and coordination in children and adolescents with CP. Physicians, therapists, and parents should become aware of the benefits of sports activities for this population of patients. Specific sports activities could be included as a usual indication in clinical practice in addition to rehabilitation treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Translating knowledge to improve paediatric rehabilitation has become a research area of interest. This study describes the development and evaluation of an online conference that brought together perspectives of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), families, health care professionals, and researchers to discuss the daily living of individuals with CP. METHODS We anchored the development and implementation of the online conference in the action cycle of the Knowledge to Action Framework. To develop the meeting, we included representatives from each stakeholder group in the programme committee. The conference programme was designed having the lifespan perspective of individuals with CP, from birth to adulthood, as its central core, with themes related to daily living (e.g., self-care, mobility, and continuing education). Participants' satisfaction with the conference was assessed using an anonymized online survey sent to all participants. RESULTS The conference had 1656 attendees, of whom 675 answered the online satisfaction survey. Most participants rated the structure of the conference (i.e., quality of the technical support, audio and video, and online platform) and discussed topics (i.e., relevance, content, discussion, speakers, and available time) positively. CONCLUSION Collaborative conferences that include stakeholders throughout the planning and implementation are a viable, effective knowledge translation strategy that allows for sharing experiences and disseminating knowledge among families and individuals with CP, health care professionals, and researchers.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to assess how a structured supportive approach applied to the parents of children living with cerebral palsy according to how the Theory of Comfort affects the child's comfort, quality of life, and parent's self-efficacy. DESIGN A single-blind, randomised, controlled experimental trial. METHODS The study was conducted with parents of children with cerebral palsy aged between 8 and 16 years who presented to the rehabilitation centers between October 2021 and November 2022. The sample consisted of a total of 73 parents from the experimental (n = 35) and control (n = 38) groups. While a care programme based on the Theory of Comfort was applied to the intervention group, the practises included in the routines of the centres were applied to the control group. The researcher collected data using the Comfort Behaviours Checklist (CBCL), the Parent Form of the Quality-of-Life Scale for Children (QoLC), and the Self-Efficacy Scale. RESULTS The children in the intervention group had significantly higher CBCL and QoLC mean scores and the parents in the intervention group had significantly higher self-efficacy mean scores of parents when compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS The structured supportive approach based on the Theory of Comfort enhanced children's comfort and quality of life and increased parents' self-efficacy. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE It is recommended to implement the structured supportive approach applied according to the Theory of Comfort with the parents of children with cerebral palsy in special training and rehabilitation centres. Paediatric nurses can perform preventive and rehabilitative nursing management with a holistic approach to meet the needs of children with cerebral palsy and their families.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk of delayed motor development with increased risk for those requiring cardiac surgical intervention. We conducted a scoping review to identify the provision and impact of physiotherapy-delivered rehabilitation in children and young people with CHD following cardiac surgery. METHODS CINAHL, EMBASE, PUBMED, AHMED, EMCARE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, NHS Evidence databases were searched (2000-2022). Included studies were published in full, in English and reported the use of physiotherapy in CHD (participants 0-18years) post-surgical procedure. Articles were screened by title and abstract and through full-text review with results structured in accordance with the PAGER framework and PRISMA- ScR checklist. RESULTS Seven full text peer reviewed papers published 2014-2021 were identified from 5747 papers screened. Included papers were predominantly non-randomised cohort studies with a sample size of between one and 247. Study participants ranged from eight days to 16 years, with a variety of congenital heart defects and surgical procedures. The provision of physiotherapy varied with a range of rehabilitation formats and physiotherapeutic interventions utilised. Physiotherapy provision appeared to have a positive impact on functional/ developmental outcomes and muscle strength. DISCUSSION Assessing the impact and provision of physiotherapy in CHD post-surgical intervention is challenging based on the published literature, due to small sample sizes, lack of control groups, heterogeneous demographics and variable intervention and formats delivered. Further research is required to identify the optimum format of physiotherapy provision and establish the potential impact of physiotherapy delivered rehabilitation on motor function and development.

Serious Game with Electromyography Feedback and Physical Therapy in Young Children with Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Equinus Gait: A Prospective Open-Label Study. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:1513. [PMID: 38475049 DOI: 10.3390/s24051513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The clinical effects of a serious game with electromyography feedback (EMGs_SG) and physical therapy (PT) was investigated prospectively in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). An additional aim was to better understand the influence of muscle shortening on function. Thirty children with USCP (age 7.6 ± 2.1 years) received four weeks of EMGs_SG sessions 2×/week including repetitive, active alternating training of dorsi- and plantar flexors in a seated position. In addition, each child received usual PT treatment ≤ 2×/week, involving plantar flexor stretching and command strengthening on dorsi- and plantar flexors. Five-Step Assessment parameters, including preferred gait velocity (normalized by height); plantar flexor extensibility (XV1); angle of catch (XV3); maximal active ankle dorsiflexion (XA); and derived coefficients of shortening, spasticity, and weakness for both soleus and gastrosoleus complex (GSC) were compared pre and post treatment (t-tests). Correlations were explored between the various coefficients and gait velocities at baseline. After four weeks of EMGs_SG + PT, there was an increase in normalized gait velocity from 0.72 ± 0.13 to 0.77 ± 0.13 m/s (p = 0.025, d = 0.43), a decrease in coefficients of shortening (soleus, 0.10 ± 0.07 pre vs. 0.07 ± 0.08 post, p = 0.004, d = 0.57; GSC 0.16 ± 0.08 vs. 0.13 ± 0.08, p = 0.003, d = 0.58), spasticity (soleus 0.14 ± 0.06 vs. 0.12 ± 0.07, p = 0.02, d = 0.46), and weakness (soleus 0.14 ± 0.07 vs. 0.11 ± 0.07, p = 0.005, d = 0.55). At baseline, normalized gait velocity correlated with the coefficient of GSC shortening (R = -0.43, p = 0.02). Four weeks of EMGs_SG and PT were associated with improved gait velocity and decreased plantar flexor shortening. A randomized controlled trial comparing EMGs_SG and conventional PT is needed.

Bone Deformities through the Prism of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in Ambulant Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:257. [PMID: 38397369 PMCID: PMC10888000 DOI: 10.3390/children11020257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
(1) Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lower limb bone deformities and body functions, activity, and participation in ambulant children with CP and whether changing bone morphology affects outcomes in these domains. (2) Methods: A systematic literature search (PROSPERO CRD42020208416) of studies reporting correlations between measures of lower limb bone deformities and measures of body function, activity or participation, or post-surgical outcomes in these domains was conducted from 1990 to 2023 in Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. We assessed study quality with the Checklist for Case Series (CCS) and a quality assessment developed by Quebec University Hospital. Meta-analysis was not possible; therefore, descriptive synthesis was performed. (3) Results: A total of 12 of 3373 screened articles were included. No studies evaluated the relationships between bone deformities and activity or participation, or the effect of isolated bone surgery on these domains. Correlations between bone deformities and body functions were poor-to-moderate. Internal hip rotation during gait improved after femoral derotation osteotomy. (4) Conclusions: A shift in paradigm is urgently required for the research and management of bone deformities in children with CP to include the activity and participation domains of the ICF, as well as consider more psychological aspects such as self-image.

Abstract
Currently, there is no intervention model for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that addresses all levels and factors of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF, WHO). The most researched programs focus on naturalistic, developmental and behavioral approaches to socio-communication. Less attention has been paid to motor and environmental reactivity aspects (behavior/interest restriction and sensory reactivity). The evidence rationale for the Global Integration Method (MIG, "Método de Integração Global"), a model addressing sensorimotor reactivity in addition to socio-communication, is presented. MIG is an integrative, interdisciplinary, family-oriented intervention and naturalistic program that addresses all levels and moderating factors of ASD's impact. MIG's theoretical rationale is based on the predictive coding impairment and embodied cognition hypotheses. MIG incorporates both bottom-up (flexible therapeutic suit, social-motor synchronization) and top-down (schematic social information processing, narratives, imagery) strategies to promote the building and use of accurate, flexible and context-sensitive internal predictive models. MIG is based on the premises that predictive coding improves both socio-communication and environmental reactivity, and that the postural stabilization provided by the flexible therapeutic suit frees information processing resources for socio-cognitive learning. MIG builds on interdisciplinary, professionally and parentally mediated work based on behavioral principles of intensive training in a situated environment.

Abstract
Management of the upper limb in children with cerebral palsy is often complex and must be carried out by a team experienced in this field. Several clinical parameters must be taken into consideration, such as higher functions, visual problems, overall upper limb function, motor control, sensitivity, presence of hemineglect or synkinesis, limb position at rest and during walking. And last but not least, a complete analysis of the upper limb is required. It is only after this exhaustive assessment - which often includes occupational therapy, physiotherapy and in some cases, video and electromyography evaluations - that a treatment indication can be discussed with the patient's family. Other than baseline treatment consisting of rehabilitation, occupational therapy and bracing, botulinum toxin injections could be an option, targeting specific muscle groups. Surgical treatments, which are often indicated in severe forms with contractures, are proposed after the patient's case is presented at a multidisciplinary meeting. These include selective neurotomy, muscle-tendon release, transfer or lengthening, and procedures on bone and joints (osteotomy, arthrodesis). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Expert opinion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP) have muscle hypertonia, balance, and coordination defects that affect gross motor skills, especially walking. Understanding the gait characteristics and lower limb muscle activation patterns of USCP children can provide an objective and quantitative basis for patient assessment and treatment plan formulation. OBJECTIVE This study compared the gait and lower limb muscle activation characteristics of children with USCP and with typical development (TD) during walking. METHODS We recorded gait and sEMG data of 20 children with USCP, and 20 with typical development. sEMG signals were acquired from the bilateral tibialis anterior (TA) and lateral gastrocnemius muscles (LG) during walking. The root mean square (RMS) value, integrated electromyographic (iEMG) value and co-contraction ratio (CR) were used to evaluate muscle activity. Student's t Test and non-parametric rank sum Test were used to compare the differences between the data groups (significance level of 0.05). RESULTS The stance time, step length, speed, single leg support time ratio, ground impact, pre-swing angle, and muscle strength of the affected side were significantly decreased compared to those of the unaffected side in children with USCP (P < 0.05), while the swing phase, muscle tonus of LG were significantly prolonged (P < 0.05). Compared with TD children, children with USCP exhibited reduced bilateral walking ability, particularly noticeable in their smaller pre-swing angle(P < 0.05), diminished muscle strength of the TA and LG, as well as LG spasms(P < 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Children with USCP have decreased ambulatory gait stability. Step length, pull acceleration, pre-swing angle, and CR can be used as sensitive indicators for gait assessment. Strengthening the TA muscle and reducing ankle spasm may help improve gait and postural stability in children with USCP.

Abstract
Cuidados centrados na família (incluindo coaching e intervenções fornecidas pelo cuidador) e treinamento parental formal são estratégias eficazes para crianças nos níveis IV e V do GMFCS. Os ingredientes de tecnologia assistiva podem promover várias F-words (funcionalidade, saúde, família, diversão, amigos e futuro). O menor nível de evidência foi encontrado para diversão, amigos e futuro. Outros fatores (prestação de serviços, treinamento profissional, dose de terapia, modificações ambientais) são relevantes para crianças pequenas nos níveis IV e V do GMFCS. Esta revisão de escopo identificou os ingredientes de intervenções precoces para crianças com paralisia cerebral em risco de não serem deambuladoras, e os mapeou-os de acordo com a estrutura das F-words. O treinamento formal dos pais e a tecnologia assistiva se destacaram como estratégias para abordar com várias F-words.

Abstract
AIM To explore the ingredients of early interventions provided to young children with cerebral palsy (CP) who are classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV and V, and to identify the 'F-words' addressed by the interventions. METHOD Searches were completed in four electronic databases. Inclusion criteria were the original experimental studies that fitted the following PCC components: population, young children (aged 0-5 years, at least 30% of the sample) with CP and significant motor impairment (GMFCS levels IV or V, at least 30% of the sample); concept, non-surgical and non-pharmacological early intervention services measuring outcomes from any of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains; and context, studies published from 2001 to 2021, from all settings and not limited to any specific geographical location. RESULTS Eighty-seven papers were included for review, with qualitative (n = 3), mixed-methods (n = 4), quantitative descriptive (n = 22), quantitative non-randomized (n = 39), and quantitative randomized (n = 19) designs. Fitness (n = 59), family (n = 46), and functioning (n = 33) ingredients were addressed by most experimental studies, whereas studies on fun (n = 6), friends (n = 5), and future (n = 14) were scarce. Several other factors (n = 55) related to the environment, for example, service provision, professional training, therapy dose, and environmental modifications, were also relevant. INTERPRETATION Many studies positively supported formal parent training and use of assistive technology to promote several F-words. A menu of intervention ingredients was provided, with suggestions for future research, to incorporate them into a real context within the family and clinical practice. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Family-centred care (including coaching and caregiver-delivered interventions) and formal parental training are effective strategies for children in GMFCS levels IV and V. Assistive technology ingredients (power, mobility, supported, sitting, stepping, and standing) may promote several 'F-words' (functioning, fitness, family, fun, friends, and future). The lowest level of evidence was found for fun, friends, and future. Other factors (service provision, professional training, therapy dose, environmental modifications) are relevant for young children in GMFCS levels IV and V.

Abstract
AbstractZielUntersuchung der Inhalte von Frühfördermaßnahmen für Kleinkinder mit Cerebralparese (CP) mit Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level IV und V und die Identifikation von „F‐Wörtern“, die von den Maßnahmen adressiert werden.MethodeRecherche in vier elektronischen Datenbanken. Einschlusskriterien: experimentelle Originalstudien, die die folgenden PCC‐Komponenten erfüllten: Population: Kleinkinder (im Alter von 0–5 Jahre, mindestens 30% der Stichprobe) mit CP und erheblicher motorischer Beeinträchtigung (GMFCS‐Levels IV oder V, mindestens 30% der Stichprobe); Konzept: nicht‐chirurgische und nicht‐pharmakologische Leistungen der Frühförderung, die Ergebnisse aus einem der Bereiche der Internationalen Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) messen; und Kontext: Studien, die zwischen 2001 und 2021 veröffentlicht wurden, in allen Konstellationen und nicht auf einen bestimmten geografischen Ort beschränkt.Ergebnisse87 Studien wurden in dieser Literaturübersicht berücksichtigt, mit qualitativen (n = 3), Mixed Methods (n = 4), quantitativ deskriptiven (n = 22), quantitativ nicht‐randomisierten (n = 39) und quantitativ randomisierten (n = 19) Designs. Die meisten experimentellen Studien befassten sich mit Fitness (n = 59), Familie (n = 46) und Funktion (n = 33), während es nur wenige Studien zu den Bereichen Spaß (n = 6), Freunde (n = 5) und Zukunft (n = 14) gab. Verschiedene Umweltfaktoren (n = 55) waren ebenfalls bedeutsam, z. B. das Angebot an Dienstleistungen, Berufsausbildung, Therapiedosis und Umweltanpassungen.InterpretationViele Studien unterstützen Elternschulungen und den Einsatz assistiver Technologien zur Förderung verschiedener F‐Wörter. Ein „Menü“ von Inhalten der Frühförderung wurden ermittelt, mit Vorschlägen für weitere Forschung, um diese in der klinischen Praxis mit Familien umzusetzen.Was dieser Artikel beiträgt
Familienzentrierte Angebote (einschließlich Beratung von und Intervention durch die Bezugspersonen) und strukturiertes Elterntraining sind wirksame Strategien für Kinder in den GMFCS‐Levels IV und V.
Hilfsmittel (Elektromobilität, unterstütztes Sitzen, Stehen und Gehen) können verschiedene „F‐Wörter“ fördern (Funktion, Fitness, Familie, Spaß, Freunde und Zukunft).
Die geringste Menge an Evidenz wurde für Spaß, Freunde und Zukunft gefunden.
Andere Faktoren (Angebot an Dienstleistungen, Berufsausbildung, Therapiedosis, Umweltanpassungen) sind relevant für Kleinkinder der GMFCS‐Levels IV und V.
