“…Therefore, there was a need for pediatric physiotherapy protocols to enhance and improve the developmental milestones; neurodevelopmental techniques were given. Airway clearance techniques included manual chest percussion, manual chest vibrations, and multimodal stimulation, which included tactile and vestibular systems [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are one of the most prevalent anomalies present at birth globally. Children with CHD often face developmental challenges, including motor, language, and cognitive impairments. This case report presents the clinical profile of a 1.2-year-old female child with CHD and developmental delay (DD) post-CHD surgery. The child exhibited delayed gross motor, fine motor, language, and personal-social milestones, along with significant cardiac anomalies observed on CT angiograms. Physiotherapy interventions were initiated to address these DDs, encompassing manual techniques, neurodevelopmental treatment, and multimodal stimulation. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of physiotherapy interventions on improving developmental outcomes in infants with CHD-associated DD. The New Ballard Score and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination were utilized to evaluate improvements post-intervention. Significant enhancements in developmental outcomes were observed. This case underscores the significance of holistic care approaches in mitigating the impact of CHD on developmental trajectories and improving the quality of life for affected children.

Physiotherapy interventions for head and trunk control in children with developmental disabilities: A scoping review protocol

Background: Head and trunk control is prerequisite skill that maximizes engagement and participation in one’s environment by integrating vision, oromotor skill, arm control and respiration. Various physiotherapy and technology-based interventions have been utilized to facilitate head and trunk control in children with developmental disabilities. This scoping review is planned to map and summarize existing studies from the scientific literature on physiotherapy and technology-based interventions for head and trunk control in children with developmental disabilities. Methods: The scoping review will utilize the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. The review will cover studies including children and adolescents aged between six months and 17 years 11 months 29 days, with developmental disabilities where in child finds difficulty in lifting its head and aligning head and trunk. We will include randomized controlled trial (RCT), non-RCT, quasi-experimental trial, and systematic reviews that have employed physiotherapy and technology-based interventions. Database-specific search strategy will be used to search records in Medline (PubMed and Web of Science), Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, PEDro, and Cochrane Library. Additionally, various grey literatures and clinical-trial registries will be searched. Two reviewers, independently, will screen and extract the data. Tables and visual representations will be utilized to present the extracted data. Registration details: The protocol has been registered in Open Science Framework, DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/B3RSU (22nd August 2022)

The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between FHP and how it may affect muscle activity during raising the arm and loss of body balance, 40 young people participated. All subjects will have their cranio-vertebral angle (CVA) and muscle activity of the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), and lower trapezius (LT), static balance index, and central pressure excursion index (CPEI) measured. Muscle activity was measured using TeleMyo 2400(Noraxon U.S.A., Inc., Scottsdale, AZ, USA), and static balance indicators and CPEI were measured using the MatscanVersaTek system (Tekscan Inc., MA). Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between variables. CVA and SA, UT, and LT all showed significant correlation, positive correlation with SA(r=0.429/p=0.006) and LT(r=0.377/p=0.017), and negative correlation with UT(r=-0.473/p=0.007) (Table 2). CVA showed a moderate level of negative correlation with AREA(r=0.-0.420 /p=0.007) and L-R distance(r=-0.508 /p=0.000) among balance indicators, and did not show a significant correlation with CPEI (Table 3). In people with more severe FHP, SA, and LT muscle activity tended to be lower, UT muscle activity tended to be higher, and static balance ability was lower. According to the results of this study, FHP can have a negative effect on various factors of the body, such as arm movement and static balance, suggesting that establishing correct posture is necessary to prevent secondary physical problems.
