A Human First Approach to Seating and Wheelchair Mobility 1:56:23

il y a environ 3 jours1:56:23

1:56:23

Nobody becomes a pediatric therapists to make children’s lives miserable, or worse, create pain and life limiting boney deformities and yet, there’s a very real possibility that somewhere along your career path, that’s exactly what your suggestions or recommendations might have done. Now this is a confronting thought , but one that needs some airtime, with a little self-reflection and no judgement - certainly not from me, because I’m right there with you. I think it was Maya Angelou who said ‘do the best with the knowledge you have, but when you know better, do better’ which is a lovely quote to live by. With that in mind, this conversation with Sharon Sutherland and Jenn McKee is a not to be missed deep dive into what they call a human first approach to seating and wheelchair mobility, but what I’ll call a holy smokes - our solutions may have been part of the problem here people . Sharon and Jenn share how they support seating and wheelchair mobility with a beautiful human first approach. We discuss real clinical cases and dig into all the tricky bits we constantly run up against as therapists, managing head support and keeping feet on footplates, complex bodies, silent pain, navigating team disagreements and technology shortfalls, getting family buy-in, dynamic systems and pommels. There were so many essential topics we covered that this interview extends waaay over the usual hour. I was going to split it into two parts, but I’ve decided to try out a longer form interview. Please let me know if you like the longer interview - and if, like me, you had a couple of slap the head moments!! There's a ton of additional links and resources for you to grab at https://www.wiredondevelopment.com related to this conversation Enjoy!…

This was such a fun interview for me to do but be warned, once you’ve listened to Jane and Susie explaining the benefits and mechanism of equine assisted therapy, you are going to want to go find yourself a stable with a few horses and get trained in hippotherapy if you’re not already. . I was genuinely blown away by how the the horse can be used to impact motor learning, and how as therapists we can integrate the whole sensory motor experience into our therapeutic goals. This interview will take you on a fascinating journey into hippotherapy - enjoy the ride.…

Dystonia and complex disabilities in childhood development with Karen Kanga 1:26:02

il y a 26 weeks1:26:02

1:26:02

From philosophy student and activist to pioneer in early childhood intervention approaches for therapists, Karen Kangas takes us on a journey of developing clinical excellence. She is an occupational therapists with over 50 years of experience, specializing in pediatrics, seating, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). She has particular knowledge and expertise in working with children with significant disabilities, particularly those with dystonia and dystonic cerebral palsy. Karen beautifully bridges the gap between ‘old school’ hands on approaches and a more contemporary hands-off focus on participation and real-life activities and engagement. We cover seating and positioning, standing, walking and appropriate equipment use, developing clinical skills, the magic of the barrier vest and understanding movement patterns.

1:09:05

James Sultzer is an academic neurorehabilitation engineer and a father to a child with a significant brain injury. This conversation is a raw look at the real state of the evidene in pediatric neurodisability from the someone who is living through the reality of how it supports families to make incredibly difficult decisions as they seek out the best care for their kids. We move from discussing the value of goal setting and home programs all the way to trying to uncover the fraud and the pseudoscience that parents are navigating everyday. This is a profoundly important conversation that is a must listen for everyone working with families who have children with disabilities. I know you'll get a lot out of it. Enjoy!

1:21:12

When it comes to understanding how the work that we try to do every day in the clinic actually works, this interview with Dr Susan Barry may be one of the most eye-opening interviews I have done so far - excuse the pun. Dr Barry is a a Professor Emeritus of Biological Sciences, Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience and Behavior and (as she calls herself) a recovered Strabismic. Her story of fixing her gaze which started at age 48 gives us unmatched insight how neuroplasticity can be harnessed in every day therapy to drive recovery. WE cover so many topics that are near and dear to my beating therapy heart, and from the value of clinical wisdom and the cautionary tales of over interpreting published research to the importance of not being distracted by the obvious problems you see, but rather understanding the reason behind why you are seeing them. There’s so many nuggets to take away from this interview, you are going to love it - enjoy!…

Specializing in Neudodisability: Bobath Therapy for Pediatric PTs and OTs 1:21:02

il y a 1 year1:21:02

1:21:02

More than a decade ago, I asked a question which finally gets answered today. The question was 'Why, despite the poor evidence, do intelligent, scientifically minded, educated and experienced therapists still value it? Or do they?' Prof Margaret Mayston exemplifies the intelligent, scientifically minded, educated and experienced therapist. She trained initially as a physiotherapist in Melbourne, Australia, and then specialised in childhood neurodisability at the Bobath centre in London before pivoting to a career in science by the completion of an MSc in Human & Applied Physiology (Kings College London), a PhD in neurophysiology, and a 3-year Wellcome Trust funded postdoctoral fellowship, both at University College London (UCL). She has combined her clinical and academic careers, and is currently a Professor (teaching) in the Division of Biosciences at UCL teaching neuroscience and general physiology on undergraduate programmes. She also gives sessions on Typical Child Development for the MSc Advanced Pediatrics (UCL) and as a Senior Bobath Tutor (pediatrics) she also teaches on Foundation courses globally and is involved in tutor training. We cover so much more than Bobath therapy in this interview, from basic physiology to philosophy and everything in between, but essentially this interview explores why the call to deimplement Bobath NDT is so misguided and captures why intelligent, scientifically minded, educated and experienced therapist think all over the world think the call to deipmlement Bobath NDT is not only ignorant and misguided, but detrimental to our profession as a whole, and a disservice to the kids and families that we are tasked with caring for.

TheraTogs Research for Pediatric Occupational and Physical Therapists 58:50

il y a 2 years58:50

58:50

There are many brilliant and passionate therapists in our world of neuromotor development, but few come close to Beverly Cusick in their ability to shape the lives of the children we see. I mean that both at the most pragmatic level where Billi’s teaching of serial casting and orthotic prescription has literally shaped thousands of feet for the better, and her brilliance in developing TheraTogs has contributed to the improved alignment and development of a thousand more little bodies. But I also mean this as a more theoretical level where Billi relentless drive to make sense of the science as it relates to growing bodies and her pedantic attention to detail has given us the most impactful tools in our therapy toolbox to really understand, measure and monitor the work that we do reliably, repeatably and meaningfully. For me this is the essence of evidence based practice, especially in our world of complex, multi-faceted, ever changing little bodies. For the longest time, the research into the effectiveness of TheraTogs has not matched the interest and value that therapist who use it properly see in their day to day practice. Recently however, a few papers have been published that are starting to get closer to capturing these therapeutic benefits that clinicians’ have been excited about for years. I sat down with Billi to discuss why previous research has failed to capture our experiences and what’s different about this new research that may change the narrative - because evidence based practice shouldn’t be about quoting publications, but critically appraising the research and demanding that it reflects the true nature of the work we do. for resources and more discussed in this interview visit https://www.wiredondevelopment.com…

Per is a Physiotherapist from Denmark and founder of Solemaids, a custom orthotic for children with Sever’s Disease / calcaneal apophysitis. His passion for feet and running related injuries led him to develop Solemaids more than 20 years ago which he is still supplying from his in-house workshop, despite a global reach. This was a great conversation about what it takes as a therapists to develop and support a clinical product globally, as well digging into the incidence, trajectory and impact of Sever’s. We also touch on the research, and what it means to have a research supported product for clinician / developers. Per’s approach is systematic, thoughtful and insightful, and his relatively straight forward solution to this sometimes life interupting issue is something we should all have access too.

1:14:41

Maybe not so much the OTs in our world or neurodevelopment, but certainly as PTs we have prioritised motor function over sensory function when we think about how the body works. The more we learn about the importance of the sensory pathways in the sensory-motor loop, the better we get at understanding how, as therapists who can only work from the outside in, we can impact the whole system when we pay attention to the incoming information, and more importantly the processing and interpretation of that incoming information. And of all the senses, vision could arguably be the most important for driving, modulating and impacting neuromotor development, which is why I am so excited to be brining you this interview today with Bronwen Scott, talking about all things vision and development. Jam packed full of useful insights, practical applications adn clinical pearls, you’re going to love this conversation - enjoy!…

There’s nothing I love more than amplifying the voices of passionate clinicians who have the kind of wisdom and insights that can only be found through years of real world real life experiences mixed in with an endlessly curious mind and an irrepressible excitement for whats possible. That’s exactly what Julie Perfect brings to this interview. Years and years of learning, doing, teaching and learning some more about standing and gait development makes for fascinating conversation about this topic that holds so much influence over the work we all do. So much more than a marker of ability, standing and walking delivers a promise of participation and independence across the life span IF we get it right - and in this interview, Julie shares some of her hard earned wisdoms about exactly how to do just that. We start off - as most good stories do - at the point where it all began… For links and resources related to this podcast visit www.wiredondevelopment.com…

It is possible to have been a therapists for 30+ years, worked with hundreds, if not thousands of kids and have completely missed a glaring piece of the puzzle that was hidden in plane sight. That’s how I felt dipping into Dawn Sandalcidis’ world of children's bowel and bladder issues. Guilty that I hadn’t paid enough attention to the conversation with parents about their kids constipation, fascinated about how much their was to know about this most basic human function and excited about what we could do as therapists to make significant impacts in the lives and well-being of the kids who cross out paths if we just pay attention and ask the right questions. Dawn Sandalcidi is know as a trail blazer in this areas of kids bowel and bladder and she is that and so much more. I think we squeezed more into this interview than any other interview I’ve done. More questions, more diagnoses, more practical tips , insights and inspiration - Dawn seems to make the impossibly complex simple and doable.

This interview is packed with practical tips, brilliant insights and golden nuggets to take away. We get into the weeds of idiopathic toe-walking, CP and and orthotic devices in but just as importantly, we explore the realities of bringing clinical work and evidence based practice into alignment (excuse the pun). Because this interview has such a practical focus, I do need to state that all advice is in this and all wiredOn interviews is general information for our individual growth and learning and is not meant as treatment or clinical advice, even when we are discussing specific clinical cases. Therapy in pediatric neurodisabilty is both an art and a science and Brigid Driscoll brings these together so eloquently in this wiredOn interview.

In part one we dived into understanding the 9 essentials and contrasting them with some of our more contemporary approaches in physical and occupational therapy. In part two we get into some hot topics and Anat answers questions sent in by curious wired on listeners. Anat is in equal measure passionate, emphatic and open-minded.

1:28:59

I hold curiosity and an open mind as two of my most precious values and so I love nothing more than to step off the straight and narrow in search of treasures and possibilities.I am struck however by how much synergy there is in what thought leaders and master clinicians that I’ve interviewed are saying - and how Anat has packaged these up in her 9 essentials. Such seemingly opposing philosophies of approach all in agreement despite their many differences - Kim Barthel talking about emotion, the brain-body connection, and the importance of verbalizing behavior to bring awareness and connection, Brian Hoare talking about the importance of extrinsic learning and learning to learn, Jean-Pierre talking about not treating into the child's limitations but accessing the brains capacity for change and Prof Rosenbaum recognizing the importance of accepting each child as perfectly whole and amazing no matter their current challenges. I'm excited by so much synergy and worried that egos get in the way of building on these connections, and concerned about how we start to tease out the hope from the hype. What a crazy, energizing and precarious place to be as therapists - we have important roles to play here because we are the ones who walk the longest and closest with the parents and their children - we have a responsibility to be open to new possibilities whilst being informed and cautious. How do we do that? With conversations open conversations for a start which is exactly what this interview is about. Anat and I had so much to say, that I’ve had to split it into two parts. This is part 1 as we seek to understand the concepts. In part two we really dig into the hot topics, hard questions and science - enjoy For all the links mentioned in this podcast and more great speakers check out www.wiredondevelopment.com…

W-sitting, Botox, walking vs wheelchairs, fixing vs participation and the inside view on RCTs and Evidence Based Practice. These are just a few of the hairy topics that came up for discussion as I sat down to talk about childhood disability and the F-words with Professor Peter Rosenbaum. Peter is the co-founder of CanChild, arguably one of the most innovative leaders in childhood disability research, a professor of paediatrics and an amazing human being who is driven to make a difference in the lives of children across the globe.

I had a hard time trying to come up with a word that best described Susan Hastings because I couldn’t choose between innovative and insightful. The truth is that Susan intertwines these two qualities into her therapy approach with such single-minded brilliance that she has developed her clinical practice into something that is arguably the most exciting approach to neuromotor rehab that I have had the pleasure of delving into ever. Susan’s enthusiasm for trying new things has led her down the path of PWB gait training, FES, WBV and some new techniques that are so exciting they’re going to blow the roof off what we are able to achieve with our kids – Susan’s approach is so fun. She never asks does this work, she says, let’s give this a go and if I see changes, how can I figure out why I’m seeing them and how can I make it work better. This interview made me see things in from a completely new perspective, I loved chatting with Susan and you are going to love this interview.

Passionate, straight-talking and someone who not only teaches this stuff - but lives it. We're talking 24-hour-postural management, body symmetry and nighttime positioning with Sarah Clayton from Simple Stuff Works. Sarah is passionate about posture! And her passion is highly contagious. She has worked with families of children living with complex disability since the late 1990’s and her life’s mission is to enable parents and practitioners to help put an end to avoidable complications such as hip dislocations and scoliosis. On top of that, she's grown up in a family where 24-hour-postural management is in the blood (with her dad being the brain behind the Goldsmith Indices used to measure body symmetry) and she's been in the thick of it since 2007 when her daughter Abigail was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour at aged 6. And so now in 2019, Abi is doing well at a mainstream college with additional support and Sarah has three other children, works full time as a "therapeutic night time positioning & measurement of body symmetry" specialist for Simple Stuff Works and can regularly be found wearing her jumper inside out. And also in 2019 I am excited to be able to interview Sarah and dig into all things related to making postural management work in the real world!

A fundamental skill for therapists working in neuromotor development is the ability to analyze movement. The GMA (General Movement Assessment) takes it to a whole new level and Colleen Peyton has a wealth of knowledge about just how to do this. As a licensed GMA instructor, Colleen combines her many years of clinical work as a physical therapist with her academic research on human movement and development to give us practical and applicable insight into this amazing tool that is changing the outcomes of children at risk for cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. No matter if you're familiar with the GMA or it's new to you, you'll find something in this interview that will give you an A-ha moment - and when you do - join in the online conversation by sharing it with a #wiredonColleen so we can find you and appreciate your insights too!

Mary has a formidable and impressive reputation as a thought leader in physical therapy and it is well deserved. She is an international key note speaker, an academic and a practicing clinician who fully intends to keep practicing after she turns 100, which is a good thing for the rest of us and all the clients she works with!

I’ve been interviewing amazing clinicians for well over a year now, and therapists often reach out to me and make suggestions about who they think is worthy of an interview. Susan Blum has been recommended more than most, and if you haven’t at least heard her name mentioned alongside TMR tots & teens, I’m thinking you’re probably a wee bit isolated from the general chatter of pediatric physical therapists online. The growing number of therapists that have been raving about and recommending her approach is a tiny window of insight into the power and exciting potential behind this systematic approach to treating a wide range of children (and adults) with difficulties ranging from delayed milestones to cerebral palsy and everything in between and I was not disappointed.
