Abstract

Purpose: To characterize beliefs of pediatric physical therapists (PTs) in the United States regarding the role of crawling in infant development and clinical practice.

Methods: Pediatric PTs reported their beliefs about early mobility and crawling, clinical approaches related to early mobility and crawling, and agreement with the removal of crawling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s updated developmental milestone checklists in an online survey. Analyses examined associations between information sources and beliefs, between beliefs and clinical approaches, and between beliefs and CDC update opinions.

Results: Most participants believed that crawling was important (92%) and linked to a variety of positive developmental outcomes (71%-99%) and disagreed with its removal from the CDC checklists (79%). Beliefs were linked with clinical approaches focused on promoting crawling and discouraging other forms of mobility.

Conclusions: Further research is needed to determine whether pediatric PTs' beliefs and clinical practices are supported by evidence.

早期活动和爬行：美国儿科物理治疗师的信念与实践》（Pediatric Physical Therapists in the United States）。

目的：了解美国儿科物理治疗师（PTs）对爬行在婴儿发育和临床实践中的作用的看法：方法：儿科物理治疗师在一项在线调查中报告了他们对早期活动和爬行的看法、与早期活动和爬行相关的临床方法，以及是否同意将爬行从美国疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）更新的发育里程碑检查表中删除。分析研究了信息来源与信念之间的关联、信念与临床方法之间的关联以及信念与疾病预防控制中心更新意见之间的关联：结果：大多数参与者认为爬行很重要（92%）并与各种积极的发育结果有关（71%-99%），不同意将爬行从疾病预防控制中心的检查表中删除（79%）。这些观点与临床方法有关，临床方法侧重于促进爬行和阻止其他形式的移动：需要进一步研究来确定儿科物理治疗师的信念和临床实践是否有证据支持。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
