“…The FIST and TIS are performed in a seated position and were therefore deemed appropriate for use on Para dressage athletes. For activity-based deficits and performance relating to sitting balance, the FIST was identified as a reliable measure (Gorman et al, 2014b) as was the TIS (Verheyden et al, 2004) for assessing trunk control (Dasoju et al, 2021). Trunk impairment has been assessed in wheelchair rugby athletes and greater trunk impairment severity was associated with reduced sports performance, as quantified through the ability to perform chair tilt and acceleration in the first 2 metres of movement (Altmann et al, 2018).…”

The key aim of classification in Para sport is to try and ensure that competitors are grouped so that they compete against others with impairments that cause a similar level of activity limitation within a specific sport. This synthesis aimed to identify existing, valid, and reliable, impairment assessment tools to measure eligible impairments that influence an individual's ability to compete at Para dressage. A multi-stage approach was employed, where a systematic search of professional databases of impairment assessment tools first identified 35 tools for Para dressage. Then, a search strategy was developed, based on these 35 tools, and 305 scientific articles were identified from academic databases up to September 2021. From here, impairment assessment tools were evaluated and refined in a twostage process using known performance determinants for Para dressage and then an assessment of their reliability, validity and practical usability. This resulted in the selection of impairment assessment tools, which included measures of muscle tone, strength, coordination, sitting balance, and trunk function. From this synthesis, we present a novel process by which impairment assessment tools were selected, refined, and critically examined using knowledge of performance determinants for dressage, the views and experiences of stakeholders, and reliability and validity of tools. The processes described here could be applied to the development of evidence-based classification systems across a range of Para sports.

“…In 2014, the incidence of CP in Saudi Arabia was 2.5 per 1000 live births, and >200,000 new cases were reported yearly (Aman et al, 2022). CP is a neurological disorder that affects posture and movement (Soliman et al, 2019;Tedla et al, 2019;Dasoju et al, 2021).…”

Many neurological disorders cause disabilities in children, and cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Children with CP experience reduced quality of life (QOL). CP is the most prevalent cause of disability in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to establish quantitative evidence related to QOL and the factors influencing it among children with CP. We recruited 132 participants between 2 and 18 years of age diagnosed with CP from several hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Participants were classified according to age based on the Pediatric QOL Inventory CP Module (PedsQL 3.0 CPM), which was completed by parental proxies. The Gross Motor Functional Classification System—Expanded and Revised (GMFCS-E&R) divided participants based on their functional level. Of the 132 participants, 79 were male and 53 were female. We observed reduced mean score of QOL in all PedsQL 3.0 CPM dimensions. Parents reported the lowest QOL for movement and balance activities and the highest QOL for eating activities. There was a significant negative moderate correlation between QOL and GMFCS-E&R scores (r s = −0.56, P = 0.01) and a significant moderate positive correlation between QOL and schooling (r s = 0.4, P < 0.03) and socioeconomic status of the family (r s = 0.42, P < 0.04). The parents of children with CP reported poor QOL for the children. Decreased functional levels were associated with reduced QOL, whereas schooling positively impacted QOL. More frequent rehabilitation services may be required to educate and encourage positive parental involvement during rehabilitation, further enhancing QOL among children with CP.

“…(ii) To evaluate trunk dysfunction, the static sitting balance (TIS-SSB), dynamic sitting balance (TIS-DSB), and trunk coordination (TIS-C) subcomponents of the Trunk Impairment Scale are used. The 17 elements that make up the TIS have three subtotal scores that range from 0 (poor performance) to 23 (excellent performance) (best performance) [ 12 ]. (iii) The Gross Motor Function Measure Scale (GMFCS) categorises a child's present gross motor function objectively.…”

As a result of non-progressive brain damage, cerebral palsy (CP) has traditionally been seen as a disorder of movement and posture; however, more recent classifications enable clinicians to understand more than just the movement issue. Research has evolved with the accurate categorization of cerebral palsy into distribution, motor type, and functional level. Children with spastic diplegia usually have pelvic asymmetry, which affects the child's functional abilities, including their ability to balance and walk independently. Physical therapists currently treat this illness using a variety of treatments, each of which is significant in its own way. A model for enhancing organizational capabilities is clinical management in physical therapy, which incorporates effective practices supported by research and improves outcomes. This case study demonstrates the efficiency of a deliberate physical therapy strategy to enhance functional independence in a three-year-old male child with spastic diplegia. The young patient complained of difficulties with balance and toe-walking and a delay in reaching age-appropriate milestones when seen in the neuro physiotherapy outpatient department. History demonstrated that a delayed cry occurred with an abrupt onset of fever, foaming at the mouth, and other symptoms described.
