Boo! This week join Sheila and Sara as they cover torticollis, cranial deformity and arthrogryposis. They start off this episode with torticollis and cranial deformity. Last season, they did an entire episode covering the torticollis CPG. That was the most comprehensive episode we have done and we definitely feel that it covers the full depth of torticollis. The book chapter leans heavily on the CPG so a lot of this information will be repetitive with that, but that is ok! Repetition is good. They then move on to cover arthrogryposis through the life span.

In this episode of "Pushing Pediatrics," Sheila and Sara explore the critical role of standardized outcome measures in pediatric physical therapy. They discuss how these measures shape clinical decisions, including eligibility, intervention strategies, goals, and service intensity. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the purpose of testing and considering the goals of the child and their family when selecting appropriate outcome measures. They delve into the two critical types of standardized tests: norm-referenced and criterion-referenced, highlighting their differences and applications. Sheila and Sara also touch on psychometric properties, validity, and the importance of adhering to test administration guidelines. They provide insights into the use of outcome measures for screening, prediction, determining differences, and evaluating change. The hosts recommend utilizing the ICF model and the APTA fact sheet on outcome measures for comprehensive understanding. They then dive into motor development and control. They emphasize that the chapter is crucial for understanding foundational concepts. The hosts recommend reading the chapter in full and utilizing bonus content, such as videos and developmental milestones offered in the e-book version. They discuss various developmental theories, including neural-maturationist theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, cognitive: Piagetian theory, motor-learning theory, and dynamical systems theory. Sheila and Sara highlight the importance of internal and external factors in development and provide insights into postural control and reflexes. Listeners are encouraged to dive deeper into these concepts and refer to additional resources for a thorough grasp of the subject matter.

In this enlightening episode of "Pushing Pediatrics," hosts Sheila and Sara delve into a wide range of crucial topics that form the bedrock of evidence-based pediatric healthcare. Join them as they explore the intricacies of evidence-based decision making, the PICO format, the 6S pyramid, the GRADE system, the ICF model, the bioecological framework of child development, the ecobiodevelopmental framework (EBD), social determinants of health, health equity and disparities, family-centered care, trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and the Knowledge to Action (KTA) cycle. By tuning in to this episode, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to approach questions and dissect them effectively. Sheila and Sara provide invaluable insights into the importance of research evidence, child and family preferences, home and community factors, and practice knowledge in making informed decisions. They guide you through the process of formulating clinical questions using the PICO format, ensuring that you can gather knowledge efficiently. The hosts also shed light on the 6S pyramid, which categorizes evidence based on its level of synthesis, and the GRADE system, which helps assess the quality of evidence in systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines. With their guidance, you will learn how to navigate through the vast landscape of evidence and identify the most reliable sources. Furthermore, Sheila and Sara introduce the ICF model, which takes a holistic approach to pediatric healthcare by considering the interplay between functioning and disability, as well as contextual factors. They illustrate how this model can be applied in a specific example, to provide comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of each child. The hosts also emphasize the significance of social determinants of health, health equity, and disparities in pediatric healthcare. They discuss the importance of family-centered care, trauma-informed care, and cultural competency in promoting inclusive and effective healthcare practices. By exploring these topics, you will gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence health outcomes and learn how to provide equitable care to diverse populations. To further enhance your knowledge, Sheila and Sara introduce the Knowledge to Action (KTA) cycle, a framework that facilitates the translation of research findings into practical action. They outline the steps involved in this cycle and provide a real-life example of how it can be applied to implement a new treatment method. By the end of this episode, you will have a solid foundation in evidence-based decision making and a comprehensive understanding of the various frameworks and models that underpin pediatric healthcare.
