摘要:

&NA;Physical variables are seldom recorded by physical therapists who treat children with cerebral palsy (CP). Yet growth measures are early predictors of poor developmental outcome and are often severely abnormal in children with CP. The purpose of this study is to document differences in head and limb circumferences, weight, length, and weight for length between two groups of children under 25 months of age: 21 children without diagnosed cerebral palsy and 36 children with CP. Significant differences between groups were found on all assessed variables. Because exercise may affect physical growth and development, we recommend that physical therapists include growth measures in their routine assessments of children with CP.

摘要:

&NA;An important service provided by public school physical therapists is education for special education personnel. In‐service programs given by physical therapists should be based on an educational needs assessment that is responsive to the special educators' identified professional needs. The purpose of the Educational Needs Assessment (ENA) was to identify specific physical therapy related needs of special educators in order to plan and implement practical in‐service workshops. The goals were to improve the utilization of physical therapy services in the school system, and to facilitate professional teamwork thereby promoting an optimal learning environment for the students with special needs. The results of the needs assessment were used to plan and implement an in‐service training program for special education and regular education personnel. In‐service education based on participants' identified training needs can be beneficial for all involved in the educational programming of children with special needs.

摘要:

&NA;Femoral torsion in 17 nonhandicapped subjects, aged 3‐22 years, was assessed using a clinical goniometry method and computerized tomography. Three therapists recorded the goniometer measures. The goniometric method was found to underestimate femoral torsion by a mean difference ranging from 9‐12° across the three testers. The mean difference within tester was significant comparing the two methods using a Wilcoxon Rank Sum test (p> 0.05). The results indicate that clinical goniometric assessment of femoral torsion should only be used as a screening tool with knowledge that a discrepancy of 10‐15° to radiographic assessment measures may be due to measurement error.
