Purpose: To determine the feasibility of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) paired with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for infants with asymmetrical hand function (AHF).
Methods: Five infants received an experimental ABA design: (A1) 3 weeks of our Standard AHF Care, (B) 3 weeks mCIMT-NMES, and (A2) 3 weeks of our Standard AHF Care. Parents tracked key data in a daily log, and infants were assessed 4 times using the Hand Assessment for Infants and Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2.
Results: There was a high level of participant enrollment, visit frequency adherence, and compliance with the treatment protocol. No adverse events were reported. Mean Hand Assessment for Infants Both Hands measure scores changed more after mCIMT-NMES than after our Standard AHF Care.
Conclusions: mCIMT-NMES is a feasible early intervention for infants with AHF at risk for unilateral cerebral palsy. A future study in a larger sample should examine the efficacy of mCIMT-NMES in this population.

Purpose: To describe the practices of pediatric physical therapists (PTs) working with children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) in Brazil.
Methods: PTs working with children and adolescents with CP were invited to participate via social media and email campaigns to complete an online survey containing 46 questions.
Results: In total, 373 PTs participated. Most PTs reported searching in scientific databases (96.8%) and on social media (71%). The main barrier to information reported was limited access to full-text articles (44%). Among the PTs, 58.4% and 84% reported using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and family centered practice models, respectively. Regarding tools and interventions, there was little focus on the domains of contextual factors and participation.
Conclusions: This survey points to some important advances. However, strategies are still needed to promote knowledge translation and evidence-based practices among pediatric PTs in Brazil.

Purpose: To determine whether foot and ankle functions are correlated with the limits of stability (LoS) while standing in individuals with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP).
Methods: Eighteen people who could walk and with BSCP and 18 people without disability participated. Anteroposterior LoS was measured using a force platform. To quantify ankle and foot functions, spasticity, isometric muscle strength, passive range of motion, and plantar light touch-pressure sensation were assessed.
Results: In the BSCP group, anteroposterior LoS was significantly decreased, and anterior LoS reduction was correlated with decreases in plantar flexor and toe flexor strength and in sensitivity of the forefoot to light touch-pressure sensation, whereas the posterior LoS reduction was correlated with reduced dorsiflexor strength.
Conclusions: The present findings suggest that improvement in these foot and ankle functions in BSCP may increase LoS while standing.
目的:确定足踝功能是否与双侧痉挛性脑瘫(BSCP)患者站立时的稳定性极限(LoS)相关:方法:18 名能行走的双侧痉挛性脑瘫患者和 18 名非残疾患者参加了此次研究。使用测力平台测量前胸负重。为了量化踝关节和足部功能,对痉挛、等长肌力、被动运动范围和足底轻触压感进行了评估:结果:在 BSCP 组中,前后 LoS 显著降低,前 LoS 降低与跖屈肌和趾屈肌力量降低以及前足对轻触-压力感觉的敏感性降低相关,而后 LoS 降低与背屈肌力量降低相关:本研究结果表明,BSCP 患者足踝功能的改善可能会增加站立时的负重能力。
