Users' Perceptions About Lower Extremity Orthotic Devices: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To systematically review perceptions from adults, children, and caregivers in scientific and open sources to determine how well lower extremity orthotic devices (LEODs) meet users' functional, expressive, aesthetic, and accessibility (FEA2) needs.

Data Sources: Scientific source searches were conducted in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE) and Web of Science; open source searches were conducted in Google Search Engine in April 2020.

Study Selection: Inclusion criteria were reporting of users' perceptions about a LEOD, experimental or observational study design, including qualitative studies, and full text in English.

Reframing Clinical Paradigms: Strategies for Improving Patient Care Relationships.

This article presents strategies for reframing clinical paradigms to build better therapeutic relationships with patients and the members of their support network from the unique and important lens of a parent and disability researcher. First, a brief history of the evolution of models of care is presented, and implementation of the current biopsychosocial model is discussed. Then, evidence-based practice and the role of the patient perspective is considered.

Physical activity in non-ambulatory toddlers with cerebral palsy.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy are less likely to be physically active than their peers, however there is limited evidence regarding self-initiated physical activity in toddlers who are not able, or who may never be able, to walk.

Aims: The aim of this study was to measure self-initiated physical activity and its relationship to gross motor function and participation in non-ambulatory toddlers with cerebral palsy.

Methods And Procedures: Participants were between the ages of 1-3 years.
