The placenta and neurologic and psychiatric outcomes in the child: Study design matters

Much information exists about functions of the human placenta and about potential mechanisms by which the placenta may influence human health or disease...

Robust and Interpretable General Movement Assessment Using Fidgety Movement Detection

Fidgety movements occur in infants between the age of 9 to 20 weeks post-term, and their absence are a strong indicator that an infant has cerebral palsy. Prechtl's General Movement Assessment method evaluates whether an infant has fidgety movements, but requires a trained expert to conduct it. Timely evaluation facilitates early interventions, and thus computer-based methods have been developed to aid domain experts. 

Common data elements to standardize genomics studies in cerebral palsy

To define clinical common data elements (CDEs) and a mandatory minimum data set (MDS) for genomic studies of cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Candidate data elements were collated following a review of the literature and existing CDEs.

"Capturing the magic": identifying the active ingredients of a physical activity participation intervention for children and youth with disabilities

This study aimed to define the active ingredients of a participation-focused physical activity intervention for children and youth with disabilities.

Construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Wrist Position Sense Test for use in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

We investigate the construct validity, test re-test reliability, and responsiveness of the Wrist Position Sense Test (WPST) for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP).

Content validation of common measures of functioning for young children against the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and Code and Core Sets relevant to neurodevelopmental conditions

Young children who have developmental delay, autism, or other neurodevelopmental conditions can have difficulties doing things in different areas of their life. What they can and cannot do is called their level of functioning. There are lots of assessment measures that aim to assess functioning.

A pilot implementation study of a chronic pain core outcome set and decision tree for children and young people with cerebral palsy

This study aimed to (i) develop a decision tree to guide clinicians to use a core outcome set (COS) of chronic pain assessment tools specific to children and young people with cerebral palsy and (ii) pilot test the implementation of the decision tree and core set in clinical practice.

Changing the focus of cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is not only the result of birth trauma and the lack of oxygen supply during delivery.

How low can we go? Recognizing infants at high risk of cerebral palsy earlier

This paper is a timely reminder that we must recognise infants at high risk of cerebral palsy earlier using evidence-based assessments.
