This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Test of Playfulness (ToP).Methods: Participants included 225 children (146 boys, 79 girls; mean age = 57.3 ± 12.76 months) with typical development, autism spectrum disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The full sample was used for factor analysis, internal consistency, item analysis, and concurrent validity. Subsamples were used for rater reliability, discriminant validity, and developmental construct validity.Results: Exploratory factor analysis identified one factor for the extent and intensity scales, and two for the skillfulness scale. Rater reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.80-0.99). Internal consistency was good to excellent (α = 0.80-0.93). High correlations with the Children's Movement Motivation Questionnaire supported concurrent validity (r = 0.72-0.77). All scales significantly differentiated among groups, confirming discriminant validity. Only the skillfulness scale showed significant differences across age groups, supporting developmental validity.Conclusion: The Persian ToP demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity, supporting its potential utility in clinical and research contexts. Limitations included virtual data collection challenges, sampling bias from snowball recruitment, and the narrow age range.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the impact of dual-task-based balance exercises on enhancing single-limb static and dynamic balance performance in children with a previous ankle sprain history.Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 66 male children (mean age = 9.34 ± 0.88 years) with a history of ankle sprains were recruited from sports clubs and assigned to one of three groups: (1) balance training with a dual task (22 participants; 12 sessions); (2) balance training with a single task (22 participants; 12 sessions); or (3) a control group (no training; 22 participants). Static balance (Stork test) and dynamic balance (Y balance test) were assessed before and after the intervention.Results: Results indicated that static balance in male children during dual-task training outperformed single-task training and the control group (p < .05). Single-task training also surpassed the control group (p < .05). In dynamic balance, both dual-task and single-task balance training groups performed better than the control group (p < .05), with no significant difference between the two training methods (p > .05).Conclusion: These findings suggest that balance exercises, particularly those incorporating cognitive dual tasks, can enhance the balance performance of male children with a previous ankle sprain history. Coaches and physiotherapists working with such male children are encouraged to incorporate the dual-task model into their training regimens.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145245466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We determined that dynamic postural control in ASD is affected by neuromotor deficits, such as reduced postural stability. Increased vulnerability to changes in body alignment and center of pressure results in compensatory movements to maintain posture.Conclusion: Children with ASD present impaired dynamic postural control, reduced stability, greater vulnerability to changes in body alignment, and the use of specific compensatory mechanisms to keep posture and avoid falls. Further studies should address the impact of sensory information, age, cognition, and support level on dynamic postural control.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145234066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre, post, and process measures included functional mobility tests, patient reported measures, semi-structured interviews, and exercise observation. Individualized programs were based on clinical guidelines and personal goals. Weekly coaching sessions reviewed adherence, performance, and progression.Results: Four of six participants completed the 8-week program; two dropped out midway through due to life circumstances. PA frequency was a median of 4 ×/wk and a median of 150 min/wk. TRHExP was the primary contributor to PA. Participant time and energy were barriers. Completing activity logs and perceived improvement were facilitators. Personal goal performance increased to 75% and satisfaction to 100%.

We compared therapy type/timing and clinical outcomes between operative and nonoperative neonates.Results: We assessed 210 neonates (92 operative, 118 nonoperative). Operative neonates had lower median [Q1, Q3] gestational age (GA) at birth and birthweight. Operative neonates experienced significantly greater median [Q1, Q3] time from admission to first PT/OT session. Time from index operation to first therapy session was 25 days for PT and 22 days for OT. Number of active and missed PT/OT sessions were not significantly different between groups after accounting for length of stay (LOS). Operative neonates more frequently missed PT/OT sessions due to out-of-unit procedures or imaging.Conclusion: Our data highlight a need for mitigation of barriers to mobilization among operative neonates, particularly in the first few weeks after surgery.

Included studies were clinical trials evaluating neonatal therapy interventions delivered by neonatal therapists or caregivers trained by therapists, focusing on oral feeding outcomes for infants born at <37 week gestation. Primary outcomes were time to full oral feeding (FOF) and feeding quality. Secondary outcomes were weight gain and length of stay (LOS). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool.Results: Fourteen studies were included, identifying three categories of neonatal therapy interventions: oral motor stimulation, swallowing exercises, and sensory-based interventions. Most interventions began between 27 and 33 week postmenstrual age. Interventions generally resulted in improved oral feeding outcomes, notably faster achievement of FOF and improved feeding quality.

Additionally, it sought to investigate the impact of dual-task conditions on functional performance and explore relationship between balance ability and dual-task performance.Methods: Ten children and adolescents with JME (mean age 16.90 ± 1.20 years) were evaluated. Static and dynamic balance were assessed using the Balance Master System, with modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) and Limit of Stability tests measuring static and dynamic balance, respectively. The mCTSIB and TUG tests were performed under single- and dual-task (motor-motor, cognitive-motor) conditions.Results: No significant differences were found in mCTSIB test between single-task and dual-task conditions (p > 0.05). However, TUG completion time increased under cognitive-motor dual-task conditions (p < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between balance and dual-task performance (p > 0.05).Conclusions: This exploratory pilot study, conducted without a control group, suggests that children with JME may face difficulties with tasks requiring both cognitive and motor functions, as cognitive-motor dual tasks significantly increased task completion time. Lower scores in certain balance measures suggest a potential risk of balance impairment. These findings underscore the importance of integrating both cognitive-motor dual-task and balance assessments into rehabilitation programs for children with JME.","PeriodicalId":49138,"journal":{"name":"Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145066099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
