Shedding Light on Perioperative Nerve Injury: An Investigation Using the SHED (Symptoms Categorization-History Taking-Examination-Diagnostic Evaluations) Approach.

Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) provide analgesia and anesthesia in diverse surgical procedures. Despite their recognized benefits, the occurrence of complications, particularly peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs), is a noteworthy concern. Prompt identification and intervention for perioperative nerve injuries are crucial to prevent permanent neurological impairment.

Training Response Abilities of Children With Intellectual Disabilities: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Response abilities, i.e., response time (RT) and response force (RF), which are essential for efficient motor control, are impaired in children with intellectual disabilities (ID).

Correlations between Trunk Control and Balance in Children with Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy.

Impairments of postural responses are a salient feature of children with cerebral palsy (CP). While the systems approach describes balance in seven components, the relationship between trunk control and balance in children with CP has not been previously examined with all seven of these components. In this study, we aimed to identify correlations between trunk control and all seven systems approach balance components in children with bilateral spastic CP.

Upper limb electromyographic analysis of manual wheelchair transfer techniques in individuals with spinal cord injury: A systematic review.

Background And Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine the upper limb muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity required during various manual wheelchair transfers in the population of spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods: This review included observational studies reporting the (EMG) activity of upper limb muscles during wheelchair transfers in people with SCI. We searched electronic databases and reference lists of relevant literature between 1995 and March 2022 with English language limits, yielding 3870 total articles.

The Impact of Functional Strength Training on Muscle Strength and Mobility in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To review the effects of functional strength training (FST) on muscle strength and mobility in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Eight databases were screened through March 2022 for studies assessing the impact of FST on strength, mobility, balance, and endurance in children with spastic CP. Study quality was assessed using the Downs and Black checklist and Cochrane Risk of Bias tools, followed by a meta-analysis.

Motor performance of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: focus on the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency.

The literature review aimed to analyze studies assessing the motor abilities of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP). The PubMed, OVID, Cochrane, and PEDro databases were searched for relevant articles published between February 2003 and September 2021. Despite the retrieval of limited studies, most included in this review were of fair to good quality.

A Paradigm Shift in the Delivery of Physical Therapy Services for Children With Disabilities in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

With the COVID pandemic, the delivery of rehabilitation services has been greatly affected across lifespan, especially towards children with disabilities. The significant physical and mental health stressors of prolonged home confinement coupled with discontinuation of rehabilitation services can lead to several long-term concerns among children with disabilities. In light of the current events, our approach towards rehabilitation needs to be re-evaluated and revamped.

Response abilities of children with Down Syndrome and other intellectual developmental disorders.

Efficiency with which a task is performed results from the precise timing and force with which the task is executed. We aimed at assessing the influence of change in task constructs on the response abilities of children who are known to have impaired perceptual motor control. To answer this question, we assessed the response abilities in terms of response time(RT) and response force(RF) among children with Down Syndrome(DS), intellectual developmental disorders(IDD) and those who are typically developing.

Can response time be trained with bilateral limb training in children with Down syndrome?

Aims: Response time (RT), that is, the time taken to respond is known to be delayed in children with Down syndrome (DS). We performed a pilot study to evaluate whether bilateral limb training can be used to train RT, in children with DS.

Settings And Design: 10 children with DS (5 males) were recruited from a special school in a suburban region using convenience sampling.

Clinical trial registration in physical therapy journals: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Clinical trial registration has become an important part of editorial policies of various biomedical journals, including a few physical therapy journals. However, the extent to which editorial boards enforce the need for trial registration varies across journals.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify editorial policies and reporting of trial registration details in MEDLINE-indexed English-language physical therapy journals.
