Unlabelled: Cerebral palsy (CP) is not just caused by neuromuscular abnormalities; it is also a result of an impaired sensory system. Since there is not a standardized measure to evaluate sensory processing of children with spastic CP, therefore an in-depth assessment of sensory processing deficits in children with spastic CP would require an understanding of the validity and reliability of the Child Sensory Profile-2 (CSP-2) in children with spastic CP. The sample of this study included 230 children with spastic CP aged 3 to 14 years who referred to different paediatric rehabilitation centres of Delhi-NCR from April 2021 and September 2023 by using the snowball sampling procedure. To collect the data, the CSP-2 caregiver questionnaire was used. For validity, face and content validity were determined. For reliability, internal consistency of all the responses was examined using Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient. For validity, experts involved in the study reported that the organization and design of the questionnaire would be appropriate for the children with spastic CP. All the items of the CSP-2 questionnaire were simple and easy to understand. Internal consistency was also calculated for total items (N = 86) and found to be 0.898 which indicates that all items of the questionnaire are internally consistent and reliable.
Conclusion: According to the findings of our study, the CSP-2 is a valid and reliable measure for evaluating sensory processing in children with spastic CP. Additionally, it may be an appropriate tool for accurately assessing this population's sensory processing deficits.
What Is Known: • Sensory processing deficits commonly concur with motor deficit in children with CP. Overall prevelance of sensory processing deficit was 83% in children with CP.
What Is New: • Child Sensory Profile-2 is a reliable and valid tool for measuring sensory processing abilities in children with CP.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have emerged as a promising non-pharmacological adjunct to neurorehabilitation. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) exhibit altered cortical excitability, and while CP remains incurable, physiotherapy combined with other interventions is essential for managing motor dysfunction. Although some studies have examined NIBS using various stimulation parameters, there is limited evidence regarding its effects on the lower extremities and optimal administration protocols.

Background: Intrathecal baclofen therapy can substantially improve symptoms in patients with severe spasticity owing to traumatic spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral paresis, or tethered cord syndrome. Problems associated with intrathecal catheters include migration, laceration, occlusion, or disconnection. Several case reports have described the management of catheter fragments.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy CADASIL) is a rare inherited disorder in which thickening of the walls of small and medium-sized blood vessels blocks blood flow to the brain. Diagnosis of CADASIL is based on clinical presentation, neuroimaging findings, and genetic predisposition. This disease is uncommon in children; typically, symptoms manifest in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, though some may exhibit symptoms later in life.

Background: Split tendon transfer of the posterior tibialis (SPOTT) is a surgical procedure in which the split posterior tibialis tendon is transferred posterior to the fibula (PO) with insertion on the peroneus brevis tendon to rebalance the forces across the hindfoot. Routing of the split tendon through the interosseous membrane (IO) is a variation with the potential benefit of augmenting ankle dorsiflexion in swing.
Research Question: Does IO routing improve ankle dorsiflexion in swing and/or varus in stance compared to PO routing?
Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed to identify forty-two patients who underwent a SPOTT procedure for equinovarus foot deformity.
