Abstract
Purpose: To offer a consensus for pediatrics clinicians, educators, and researchers on the use of movement system (MS) and review evidence that supports physical therapists (PTs) as movement experts.
Summary of key points: This paper describes the MS and discusses how a MS diagnosis (Dx) can lead to most effective interventions and plans of care (POC) in pediatrics. Three cases illustrate using organized formulation of MS Dxs and how a MS Dx assists in choosing affective interventions for the POC.
Conclusions: Pediatric PTs are movement specialists designing individualized plans of care to meet functional goals in real world conditions. Using consistent terms to establish MS Dx will enable effective communication, and a foundation for interventions across the lifespan.
Recommendations: Adopting MS Dx framework will support and assist students of physical therapy, entry level and experienced clinicians, educators, and researchers with a critical decision-making process for formulating optimal family centered care.
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.
