Importance: Care partners' involvement is a key feature of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach that can enhance rehabilitation outcomes and promote the generalization and transfer of strategies and skills to everyday life. Gaining insight into care partners' experience with their child's CO-OP intervention is critical to understanding how to enhance care partners' involvement.
Objective: To gain insight into the experience of care partners whose child with acquired brain injury (ABI) participated in CO-OP intervention.
Aim: To determine the effectiveness of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach in improving the occupational performance goals of children and young people with executive function deficits after acquired brain injury (ABI) (e.g. etiologies such as stroke, encephalitis, brain tumor, and traumatic brain injury).

Based on Vallerand's methodological approach, we conducted forward and parallel inverse-translations. Subsequently, an expert panel evaluated the translations to create a preliminary experimental French-Canadian version.

Background: A family's health is sustained by its occupational patterns. While it is commonly accepted that a health condition places extra demands on a family's time or can limit daily occupations, few studies have reported on the occupational patterns of these families.
Aims/objectives: This scoping review provides an overview of the current state of research exploring occupational patterns of families living with a health condition.
Background: The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire'07 (DCDQ'07) is a parent-report measure to identify children at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We developed a French version of the DCDQ'07 (DCDQ-FE) that has shown excellent inter-language reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.91) and is culturally relevant for use in European countries.

Children's movement imagery ability and online control have been shown to develop at similar nonlinear rates. The current study investigated the relationship between movement imagery and online control in children by comparing implicit and explicit movement imagery measures with the ability to make online trajectory corrections.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Ophiocephalus striatus extract on the level of IGF-1 and albumin in elderly patients with hypoalbuminemia.
Methods: the study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial involving malnourished elderly inpatients (≥60 years old) recovering from acute condition before hospital discharge, with Mini Nutritional Assessment score ≤23.
The primary objective was to produce a French-Canadian translation of AMSTAR (a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews) and to examine the validity of the translation's contents. The secondary and tertiary objectives were to assess the inter-rater reliability and factorial construct validity of this French-Canadian version of AMSTAR. A modified approach to Vallerand's methodology (1989) for cross-cultural validation was used.

Although the term self-regulation is appearing more frequently in the occupational therapy literature, the extent to which it is consistently conceptualized is not clear. The aim of this scoping review was to examine how the term self-regulation is used by occupational therapists in research and practice literature. A total of 58 publications that included occupational therapy and self-regulation in the title, key words, or abstract were identified.

No study to date seems to have explored its effectiveness for improving performance of untrained tasks (inter-task transfer) in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether CO-OP leads to improved performance in an untrained task.
Objective: To create evidence-based guidelines evaluating foot care interventions for the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Data Sources: An electronic literature search of the following databases from database inception to May 2015 was conducted: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), Cochrane CENTRAL, and clinicaltrials.gov.
Unlabelled: The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ'07) is a Canadian-English instrument recommended for screening children aged 5 to 15 years who are at risk for developmental coordination disorder. While a Canadian-French version of the DCDQ'07 presently exists, a European-French version does not.
Aims: To produce a cross-cultural adaptation of the DCDQ'07 for use in areas of Europe where French is spoken and to test its cultural relevance in French-speaking Switzerland.
Purpose: The performance quality rating scale (PQRS) is an observational measure of performance quality of client-selected, personally meaningful activities. It has been used inconsistently with different scoring systems, and there have been no formal publications on its psychometric properties. The purpose of this study was to test and compare the psychometric properties of two PQRS scoring systems in two populations.

Introduction: There is a high rate of speech recognition software (SRS) abandonment by adolescent students with physical disabilities.
Purpose: This study sought to describe the experience of adolescents & their parents, who experienced abandonment of SRS.
Methods: Using a narrative inquiry method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three adolescents with a physical disability (and two parents).
Background: Parent-report measures, such as the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire'07 (DCDQ'07), are used to identify developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in children. Early identification of this condition is important to mitigate its social-emotional and health consequences. Unfortunately, few French-language assessments are available to therapists working with francophone populations.

To this end, children were involved in learning two five-skill trampoline routines. For one of the routines, a FSM video was provided during acquisition, whereas only verbal instructions were provided for the alternate routine.

Floor time play (FTP) is an intervention approach that addresses these issues; however, there are few published studies on its effectiveness.
Purpose: This study determines the effectiveness of FTP intervention with a child diagnosed with autism.
Purpose: This commentary draws on a recent workshop hosted by the Canadian Children's Rehabilitation Research Network that brought together stakeholders to critically examine assumptions embedded in children's rehabilitation in order to advance current debates and suggest areas for further inquiry.
Method: Six issues are discussed: (1) the wisdom of dichotomising 'fix' versus 'function'; (2) the ethics of it might help and it won't hurt' therapy approaches; (3) the emphasis on early intervention rather than a lifespan approach; (4) the challenges of providing care for new rehabilitation populations; (5) discrepancies between performance outcomes and patient satisfaction; and (6) innovative partnerships to support care transitions of adolescents and their families.
Results: Issues identified include: finding the right balance between therapies that focus on 'fixing' children versus enhancing function, judicious design of therapy programs as to not overburden children and families, adopting lifespan approaches to meet the needs of multiple 'paediatric' populations, cautious interpretation of measures and approaches that link well-being with physical performance, and the benefits of including parent and youth facilitators on children's rehabilitation teams.
