Aim: To systematically review the evidence for intensive mobility training in cerebral palsy (CP) and to determine the minimum effective dose to improve mobility.
Method: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs that included participants with CP, and which used intensive task-oriented training (TOT) mobility interventions and reported mobility outcomes, were included. Five databases were searched; two independent reviewers selected studies and extracted data.
Background: Participatory research approaches systematically integrate the perspectives of individuals, organizations, or communities that have a direct interest in a study's processes and outcomes (i.e., stakeholders) in research design and implementation.

- Users of automated vehicles may experience motion sickness due to engaging in other activities and not focusing on the road.
- The study validates models that predict motion sickness based on sensory integration between vestibular (inner ear balance) and visual signals, using various driving and laboratory tests.
- Findings suggest the SVC model, which incorporates visual rotational velocity, is best for estimating motion sickness, while the MSOM model excels in explaining motion perception but struggles with the nuances of motion sickness frequency sensitivity.
Objective: Intensive rehabilitation aims to improve and maintain functioning in young people who experience disability due to illness or injury. Day rehabilitation may have advantages for families and healthcare systems over inpatient models of rehabilitation.
Methods: This study evaluated the goals and outcomes of a cohort of young people in Western Australia who attended a specialist intensive day rehabilitation programme ("iRehab") at Perth Children's Hospital.
