Abstract

Purpose: This case series investigated the implementation fidelity, feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating continuous heart rate monitoring with visual feedback into an established, intensive physical therapy camp for children with neuromotor disorders.

Summary of key points: The provision of continuous visual feedback through color-coded, individually calculated heart rate zones was a feasible and effective intervention, encouraging pediatric gait camp participants to exercise at intensities that produced aerobic and functional gains. The use of technology facilitated participation with peers, an outcome equally as important as their endurance and functional improvements.

Conclusions and recommendations for clinical practice: Pediatric physical therapists play a crucial role in enhancing the well-being and physical fitness of children with disabilities. Encouraging regular exercise in a social environment fosters enjoyable, inclusive experiences while promoting overall health. It is important for clinicians in various pediatric rehabilitation settings to establish programs that offer such opportunities for children with neuromotor disorders.

将心率监测纳入神经运动障碍儿童夏令营：病例系列。

目的：本系列病例研究了将连续心率监测与视觉反馈整合到一个针对神经运动障碍儿童的既有强化理疗营中的实施保真度、可行性和有效性：要点总结：通过彩色编码、单独计算的心率区提供连续视觉反馈是一项可行且有效的干预措施，可鼓励儿科步态训练营的参与者进行强度锻炼，从而获得有氧运动和功能方面的收益。技术的使用促进了参与者与同伴的共同参与，这一结果与他们耐力和功能的改善同样重要：儿科物理治疗师在提高残疾儿童的幸福感和身体素质方面发挥着至关重要的作用。鼓励残疾儿童在社交环境中进行有规律的锻炼，可以在促进整体健康的同时，培养愉快、包容的体验。对于各种儿科康复机构的临床医生来说，为神经运动障碍儿童提供此类机会的项目非常重要。

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.
