*In case of peds, parents typically know child best!
Are RCTs the strongest evidence in peds?
Yes, however, few are done

Tough to control for a chaotic environment; more case studies
With peds, what are you typically looking for when searching case studies for evidence?
Looking for effectiveness, not as much efficacy with RCTs
Where do "expert" ped clinicians get their evidence to support their clinical decisions?
Interventions must be acceptable to children and families and meaningful to their daily lives
Is the ICF (International Classification of Functioning) a linear model?
No, impairments, limitations and participation restrictions can have different effects depending on their environmental and personal factors
What 2 contextual factors can impede or enhance a pt's outcome according to IFC?
environmental factors
personal factors
What category in the ICF model are adults, teens, kids and infants similar?
impairments
What activity limitation do most infants portray?
more proximal environment (interact and feed with the family)

*ADLs are rolling, sitting, etc
What is the main participation restriction for a child/teen?
social/peer to peer interaction
What do we relate impairments to?
activity and participation limitations
Do all impairments affect function?
No, not every impairment affects activities and/or participation (function)
Can all impairments be modified by PTs?
No, good example is tone (temporary fix)
What do we use to measure activity limitations?
norm and criterion-referenced eval tools
What 2 tests do we use to assess activity and participation levels?
developmental and functional tests
What 2 scales do we use to asses impairments?
pain and sensory scales
What tests do we use to measure participation restrictions?
QOL questionnaires/functional assessments
How is participation restrictions measured?
By child or family report or observation in natural environment
What is normal term for gestation?
38-42 wks
What is normal baby weight?
2500-4200g = 5lbs 8oz - 9lbs 4oz

3.diagnosis
4. prognosis
5. interventions
6. outcomes
What are the 3 components of an examination?
1. history
2. systems review
3. specific tests and measures
How does prognosis shift?
to more episodic intervals of care
What is limited with evidence within the prognosis category?
limited to guide frequency/duration decisions
What are the 3 categories to interventions?
1. communication/coordination/doc
2. pt education
3. procedural interventions
What are 6 factors to consider with intervention planning in peds verses adults?
1. family centered care
2. developmentally appropriate
3. typical development progresses over time
4. transition and future planning
5. interdisciplinary focus
6. cultural sensitivity
What is meant by family centered intervention planning? (3)
meaningful goals
caregiver education
realistic interventions
How do we implement developmentally appropriate intervention with peds?
We play! Use age/developmentally appropriate toys, games, activities, etc
What could children with non-progressive d/o appear over time?
appear to "get worse" as they age
How is documentation usually done for peds?
in a narrative description of activity rather than an checklist
How are HEPs usually given to parents or caretakers?
Give a variety list of games or activities to parents to choose from
Who does the interdisciplinary focus involve with intervention planning?
parents and child

(in inpatient rehab, outpt, etc)
What institution does not involve interdisciplinary focus of the parents and child?
Hospitals (docs,nurses and med staff focus on the decision making)
What is the best way to incorporate activities into a child's treatment?
Follow their lead to decide what activities to do
