  • Excellent way to keep in touch with the rest of the world

    Thank you so much Dayna and Ash for this podcast. For those of us working in regional and remote areas and with limited access to courses and conferences I really appreciate being able to listen to your podcast to feel that I am keeping up with what’s happening in the research world. Congratulations on your 100th episode which I enjoyed while driving back home after seeing clients on the West Coast of Tasmania yesterday. Looking forward to the next 100.

  • A brilliant research based podcast

    The 1 star reviewer seems to have a vested (possibly) financial interest in CME and DMI. Novak makes a clear differentiation between “hands on” and “hands off” therapies. Merely listening to researcher after researcher on episode after episode (including Novak herself and contemporaries like Longo and de Campos) make this distinction should give a clear indication that the older ways of doing things have now been surpassed.

    I would hope that those that support these outdated philosophies and te... more

  • Episode 26

    Although the Novak et al (2019) paper has been widely cited and discussed amongst health professionals, this episode does not present all information accurately. The description of treatment methods CME and DMI is incorrect and inaccurate, and not included in the original paper. This podcasts representation of these treatment methods in particular is completely incorrect and biased.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EACD 2026: Botulinum Toxin - Beyond tone reduction (Prof Kaat Desloovre, Prof Anja Van Campenhout, Prof Eva Pontén)
Q: How does the toxin choice differ between upper and lower limbs in terms of goals and outcomes?
For upper limbs, the aim is functional gains like reaching and grip, while for lower limbs the focus includes gait improvement and facilitating orthotic use, with careful timing to avoid compromising muscle length and overall function.
EACD 2026: Botulinum Toxin - Beyond tone reduction (Prof Kaat Desloovre, Prof Anja Van Campenhout, Prof Eva Pontén)
Q: What is the biggest message about using botulinum toxin in the context of F-words and functional outcomes?
Look at the full picture and avoid focusing on a single outcome; the toxin should be integrated with rehabilitation, orthotics, and other treatments to optimize long-term function.
EACD 2026: VISIBLE RCT (Prof Roslyn Boyd and Prof Andrea Guzzetta)
Q: Where to from here?
Plans include a larger, multi-site international trial, continued training modules, and the development of a robust community practice to sustain implementation, with funding seeks from European and international grants and ongoing collaboration.
EACD 2026: VISIBLE RCT (Prof Roslyn Boyd and Prof Andrea Guzzetta)
Q: Describe that to me. Ros, in terms of an RCT, what does it actually look like?
Babies at higher risk of cerebral palsy are identified early using general movements and early assessments. An infant vision assessment battery (PISA) characterizes each baby's visual challenges, and the intervention is added to usual care as home-based therapy guided by therapists and coaches for mothers. Assessments and outcomes are tracked over time, with the intervention delivered weekly to fortnightly in the home, and fidelity supported by a multinational training network.
EACD 2026: Transforming the experience for families in Early Intervention - Ei SMART (Betty Hutchon)
Q: Can you give an example of practical strategies that clinicians can use?
She describes starting sessions on the floor with parents, focusing on the baby's current capabilities, asking open questions, co-producing goals, and translating them into everyday activities that fit into daily routines.
