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    I would hope that those that support these outdated philosophies and te...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

Validation and Responsiveness of activity limitation testing in framerunning for children and young people with CP. (Dr Sarah Reedman and Samantha King)
Q: What are the two main activity limitation tests used in this study?
The four bounds for distance (how far a child can propel the frame runner in four bounds or eight reciprocal steps) and the number of steps in 20 meters, both designed to measure how impairments affect frame running performance.
Validation and Responsiveness of activity limitation testing in framerunning for children and young people with CP. (Dr Sarah Reedman and Samantha King)
Q: What was the population and inclusion criteria for the study?
The study included children and young people with cerebral palsy, GMFCS levels 2 through 5, aged approximately 6 to 21, able to understand instructions, and with enough data in outcome measures to allow analysis.
Evaluating serial casting for idiopathic toe walking in autism spectrum disorder. (Anne McNee)
Q: Main message then from you, Anne, as a final take home for clinicians and people who are listening.
Serial casting in autistic toe walking is not inaccessible; it is highly manageable, with parents generally receptive to the approach, provided they receive comprehensive, accessible information and a clear plan for early evaluation and ongoing follow-up.
Evaluating serial casting for idiopathic toe walking in autism spectrum disorder. (Anne McNee)
Q: Tell us a little bit about what that looked like for you in terms of...,
The team reviewed a five-year dataset, refined inclusion criteria (excluding 2-year-olds), and found that older children (3-14) showed varying baseline plantar flexion contractures with an overall average gain of about 13 degrees in ankle ROM after serial casting, with better outcomes when a post-casting protocol and functional use of the ankle were in place.
From Australian Advances to a Global Roadmap for Cerebral Palsy (Rachel Byrne)
Q: What is a bold, long-term vision for CP in the next decade or two?
Preventable CP should be reduced through basic prevention and infection control in LMICs within ten years, and by twenty years there could be curative therapies or substantial breakthroughs across the CP lifespan.
