Purpose: To establish intrarater and interrater reliability of photographs made in a newly developed smartphone app to determine the severity of infantile skull deformation by taking a cranial photograph of an infant's head.
Methods: Using the app, 1 pediatric physical therapist and 2 pediatric physical therapy master students photographed heads of 30 infants aged up to 12 months receiving treatment for asymmetric or delayed motor development. Modified Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index and Cranial Index determined the severity of skull deformation.
Results: Intrarater reliability was excellent both for mCVAI and CI, with an ICC(3,1) = 0.97, and ICC(3,1) = 0.98, respectively. Interrater reliability with an ICC(2,1) = 0.97 for the mCVAI, and ICC(2,1) = 0.99 for the CI was excellent too.
Conclusion: The reliability of the Skully Care App proved to be excellent when used by pediatric physical therapists.Supplemental Digital Content 1. Video Abstract available at: http://links.lww.com/PPT/A399 .

An assessment of burden associated with problem joints in children and adults with moderate or severe haemophilia A: analysis of the CHESS-Paediatrics and CHESS II cross-sectional studies.

Background: Clinical research has offered many definitions and fragmented perspectives of joint morbidity in haemophilia. As joint damage, pain and mobility impairment can be present without clinical record of persistent bleeding, a person-centric joint morbidity characterisation remained a priority for the haemophilia community, giving rise to the 'problem joint' concept. As diagnosing and managing joint morbidity is critical, the aim of this study was to analyse the holistic burden of problem joints in people with moderate or severe haemophilia A (HA).

Unlabelled: This study aimed to synthesize evidence from primary studies on the acceptability and effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for improving lifestyle behaviors and body mass index (BMI) in children with overweight or obesity. We conducted a meta-analysis or followed the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) guidelines to synthesize study findings. The analysis included both mindfulness-only interventions and comprehensive behavioral interventions incorporating mindfulness components.

Nutritional epidemiology aims to link dietary exposures to chronic disease, but the instruments for evaluating dietary intake are inaccurate. One way to identify unreliable data and the sources of errors is to compare estimated intakes with the total energy expenditure (TEE). In this study, we used the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water Database to derive a predictive equation for TEE using 6,497 measures of TEE in individuals aged 4 to 96 years.

Increased screen time (ST) among preschool children is becoming a matter of concern globally. Although gadgets such as phones, tablets and computers might be of educational use in this population, excessive ST might impair cognitive function among preschoolers. As data on this topic in preschool children are scarce, this study sought to investigate the relationship between ST and executive functions (EFs) in this population.

Children in out-of-home care participate in less organised sport than children from other household structures, potentially reducing opportunities for improvements in social, developmental, and health outcomes. Despite this, little is known about barriers and facilitators of sport participation for children in care. We aimed to explore carers' perspectives on the influences on children in care's participation and experiences in organised sport.
