Articles were screened according to title and abstract and relevant data were extracted. Studies were eligible if they included infants aged 0 to 12 months at risk of developing USCP and reported early upper-limb movement characteristics indicative of USCP.Results: Twelve of 5482 studies were included. Three categories of assessments were recognized: (1) spontaneous upper-limb movements; (2) pre-reaching; and (3) upper-limb skills. Across these categories, asymmetry was observed, namely in spontaneous wrist and digit movements, pre-reaching trajectories, and reduced use of the contralesional hand in infants who developed USCP. From 15 weeks of age onwards, asymmetry was more evident not only in upper-limb movement patterns but also in object-related upper-limb skills.Interpretation: Clinical signs of USCP in upper-limb movements are noticeable from the age of 12 weeks. Preceding signs may be subtle. Three-dimensional motion analysis and wearable sensors may enhance early detection, enabling timely diagnosis and intervention.","PeriodicalId":50587,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147857661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative component used questionnaire responses (n = 102) and a qualitative component involved semi-structured interviews (n = 13). Descriptive statistics, deductive content analysis (questionnaire data), and inductive content analysis (interview data) were used for analysis.Results: Most parents (89%) reported telehealth was an acceptable way to complete the AIMS assessment. Most (97%) would accept a telehealth appointment if a face-to-face assessment was not available. Four categories were identified from interview data that influenced parents' perceptions of telehealth: (1) visibility of the child; (2) accuracy of representation; (3) trust in the unfamiliar; and (4) the parental experience.Interpretation: Telehealth delivery of the AIMS is acceptable to Australian parents. However, around half of participants preferred face-to-face assessment. Findings suggest families be provided with choice, with clinicians supporting parents to understand the benefits and challenges of each modality, considering families' circumstances, preferences, capabilities, and access to technology.","PeriodicalId":50587,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cohort was previously screened for ASD using three case definitions: research-inclusive (ASD-RI), research-narrow (ASD-RN), and clinically diagnosed ASD (ASD-C). For those with ASD-RI, we assessed sex, intellectual disability (IQ < 70), and age at ASD onset. Means and proportions are reported when available.Results: ASD prevalence was significantly higher in participants with epilepsy across all definitions: ASD-RI 21.4% versus 3.2%; ASD-RN 14.0% versus 1.6%; and ASD-C 7.9% versus 0.7%. Children with both epilepsy and ASD-RI were more often female (38.2% vs 25.8%), had higher rates of intellectual disability (56.5% vs 15.4%), and met the ASD-RI criteria at a younger age (mean 7 years 5 months vs 8 years 8 months).Interpretation: Co-occurring ASD and epilepsy are frequently associated with intellectual disability, earlier age at ASD diagnosis, and reduced male predominance.","PeriodicalId":50587,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, implementation strategies were mapped to previously identified Canadian barriers and facilitators to early hand therapy delivery. Semi-structured interviews regarding these strategies were conducted with three participant groups across Canada: parents of children aged 6 years or younger with cerebral palsy (n = 9); paediatric occupational therapists (n = 10); and leads or managers of paediatric occupational therapy programmes (n = 6). Interview data were analysed thematically. Next, 12 participants (n = 4 per participant group) completed a modified nominal group technique exercise to create actionable descriptions and prioritize strategies.Results: Twenty-one implementation strategies were mapped to identified barriers and facilitators. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews identified 11 strategies within three categories based on the source: occupational therapists and clinics; research and community groups; and health care systems. The nominal group technique prioritized the top three strategies: (1) develop a roadmap to therapy; (2) raise awareness; and (3) create a therapy guidebook.Interpretation: Eleven actionable strategies were identified to support early hand therapy delivery for young children with cerebral palsy.","PeriodicalId":50587,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
