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.
