Unfortunately, physical rehabilitation can be painful, reducing compliance and recovery. This feasibility study aimed to demonstrate that immersive virtual reality (IVR) applications can provide potential benefits of anxiety reduction and pain distraction for children during gait rehabilitation, increased engagement and enjoyment, and improved perceived walking quality.MethodsThis study included 15 children aged 11-16 who required weight-bearing rehabilitation following lower limb surgery. A mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach and a multidirectional perspective (patients, parents and physiotherapists) were adopted to measure. Changes in anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7) and pain (visual analogue scale) before and after the intervention were assessed. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with children, their parents, and physiotherapists, focusing on their experiences, satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, and acceptability of the IVR intervention.ResultsResults demonstrated that IVR for rehabilitation after lower limb surgery in children (1) reduced anticipatory anxiety; (2) reduced the level of pain experienced during gait rehabilitation; (3) improved rehabilitation, such that children were walking more than expected and with better quality; (4) increased confidence; (5) made rehabilitation more enjoyable; and (6) was delivered via a system that was easy to learn and accept.ConclusionThis rehabilitation IVR is the first product of its class for paediatric lower limb postoperative rehabilitation. These preliminary results will inform improvements to the system in a future multi-site study with a large calculated sample size to demonstrate its clinical effectiveness and safety in acquiring medical device markings and adoption.","PeriodicalId":16692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"30-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess this, children with SCI and typically developing (TD) children were evaluated for increases in trunk muscle activation, muscle activation patterns, and correlation of trunk muscle activation with trunk control during rocking.MethodsEleven children with SCI and 10 TD children aged 1-12 years rocked while surface electromyography activity in arm, leg, and trunk muscles was captured. Mean muscle activity during rocking and at baseline were compared for each muscle. Temporal activation patterns of SCI and TD groups were compared using cluster analysis. Correlation of trunk control and trunk muscle activation was assessed.ResultsSignificantly higher muscle activity was found during rocking versus quiet sitting for each muscle (p < 0.05). Cluster analysis of temporal muscle activation patterns revealed two disparate SCI groups; one SCI group's muscle activation timing was similar to the TD group. Correlation analysis indicated greater trunk muscle activation in lower trunk muscles for participants with better trunk control.ConclusionRocking activates the neuromuscular system and is feasible for children with trunk impairment due to SCI, suggesting its potential as a home-based activity for extending practice beyond the clinic.","PeriodicalId":16692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"61-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate whether ultrasound images of the submental and masticatory muscles in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) differ from those obtained in a reference group, and whether observed ultrasound abnormalities differ between subgroups of children with different Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS) levels to support its construct validity.Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in 25 children with spastic CP aged 3-18 years. QMUS of selected muscles was performed. Muscle thickness and echogenicity in the CP group were compared to previously collected reference values, and between different EDACS levels within the CP group.Results: Median echogenicity of all muscles was significantly higher in children with CP than in healthy controls. The temporalis muscle was significantly thinner in the CP group. There were no differences in muscle thickness or echogenicity between EDACS levels.Conclusion: QMUS is able to detect abnormal architecture of submental and masticatory muscles in children with spastic CP, but the interpretation of abnormalities in relation to the severity of mastication and swallowing problems needs further investigation.","PeriodicalId":16692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine","volume":" ","pages":"13-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141600258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zorowitz scores, spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale) scores, and Gross Motor Function Classification System levels were extracted.ResultsBaseline Zorowitz score (median 19, interquartile range 13-25) was not related to functional level (r = -0.088, p = 0.20) nor muscle tone (r = 0.006, p = 0.95), but patients with follow-up data reported reduced impact of spasticity post-injection (p < 0.0001). Higher baseline Zorowitz score was related to a greater decrease in Zorowitz score after injection (r = -0.39, p < 0.00001). Injection location, sex, number of muscles injected, and botulinum toxin dose were not related to Zorowitz change score.ConclusionThe Zorowitz scale may be responsive to spasticity treatment in children. However, construct validity to existing clinical measures was not observed, suggesting either that a clinical gold standard does not exist, that the scale measures a construct not otherwise captured clinically, or that it has limited validity in children.","PeriodicalId":16692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"5-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article highlights that PIs, which significantly increase hospital costs and extend patient stays, can be prevented mainly through evidence-based interventions. One of the critical technologies used at this stage is pressure mapping to monitor and optimize pressure distribution on surfaces, whether lying or seated, particularly during prolonged medical procedures. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of educating families and caregivers about early signs of PIs, photography, using electronic health records for tracking, and effective home care strategies to prevent these injuries post-discharge. Future research should investigate how to enhance prevention methods in hospital settings, especially for patients undergoing surgeries or other lengthy procedures.

In CP, hydrocephalus typically presents in infancy or early childhood. This report describes a patient in their mid 20 s with mixed dyskinetic-spastic CP with adult-onset hydrocephalus of unknown cause initially presenting with new-onset bilateral lower extremity spasms. Multiple interventions were trialed, including ischial bursal steroid injections, botulinum toxin injections, trigger point injections, multiple oral medications, and physical and massage therapies without benefit. Given lack of treatment response, imaging of the neuraxis was obtained. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain demonstrated new diffuse moderate ventriculomegaly compared to prior MRI. Ophthalmologic evaluation demonstrated papilledema, and opening pressure on lumbar puncture was elevated to 44 mmHg H2O. The patient underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement with rapid and near-resolution of their spasms and pain. This patient represents a unique case of new-onset hydrocephalus in an adult with CP. To ensure appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment, individuals with neurologic conditions such as CP should have ongoing surveillance and comprehensive evaluation for any neurologic or functional changes, including changes in baseline tone. Future research is needed to better understand if adults with CP are at higher risk for the development of hydrocephalus in adulthood.","PeriodicalId":16692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine","volume":" ","pages":"26-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142289668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
