Abstract

Purpose/hypothesis: Systematically review current evidence on the content of physical therapy (PT) examination and evaluation to inform the update to the 2020 Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG).

Methods: Eight databases were searched for studies that informed the content of PT examination and evaluation, including psychometric properties of tests and measures used in the PT management of DCD. Methodological quality and certainty of evidence were assessed.

Results: Three systematic reviews and 30 cohort studies were included. Two findings impacting the 2020 DCD CPG are: (1) very low- to high-quality evidence supports cultural adaptations and cutoff scores for DCD-specific questionnaires, and (2) very low-quality evidence supports 4 outcome measures that are responsive to change with intervention.

Conclusion: Newer evidence reaffirms 4 of 5 recommendations on examination of the 2020 DCD CPG and adds evidence that could increase the recommendation strength of 2 action statements from best practice to moderate.

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.
