The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a gross motor assessment with excellent psychometric properties and clinical utility when used face-to-face. The AIMS assessment delivered via synchronous telehealth shows excellent agreement with face-to-face assessment. Telehealth is a suitable alternative to face-to-face AIMS assessment, particularly for older infants.
We looked at the physical activity levels of 497 preschool children who were either typically developing, at risk of developmental coordination disorder (DCDr), or with probable DCD (pDCD). We assessed physical activity using accelerometry and machine learning. We found that daily time spent in sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity did not differ between the typically developing, DCDr, and pDCD groups, however the pDCD and DCDr groups accumulated less time in ambulatory activities (walking/running) than typically developing children.
The objective of the study was to use targeted metabolomics following exercise to evaluate alterations in metabolic pathways in ambulatory adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to those with typical development. Our study found that funcional capacity and mobility (top left) in these individuals was associated with metabolite abundance only in individuals with CP.
