“…This additional support to rehabilitative treatment has been studied not only in arthrogryposis, but also in other conditions. In all of them, benefits of various kinds have been seen, such as in motor development [37][38][39][40] and control [35,38], psycho-social [36] and cost reduction [41]. In other cases, these benefits have not been conclusively demonstrated, such as in Developmental Coordination Disorder [42].…”

“…In other cases, these benefits have not been conclusively demonstrated, such as in Developmental Coordination Disorder [42]. Interventions that can produce these benefits include massage [43,44], specific [37,40,45] and global mobilisations [35,38,39] learnt from health professionals, orthopaedic tools management [45] and psychological support [35,36]. All of this will improve independence [9,11,46] and favour relations with their social environment [9,15,20,47].…”

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a condition characterised by contractures and deformity in two or more body areas. Physiotherapy may be an appropriate treatment. The aim was to systematically review the evidence for rehabilitation in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. A systematic review was performed following the PRISMA 2020 criteria. The search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, ENFISPO, JSTOR, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Cochrane Library and PEDro from inception until October 2022. To assess the methodological quality, we used the different aspects of the critical appraisal tool JBI. We included 14 studies (6 case reports, 5 case series, 2 cross-sectional and 1 qualitative study). Sample sizes ranged from 1 to 50 participants, with an age range between 11 days and 35 years. Most studies employed multicomponent therapy, mainly kinesitherapy, massage therapy, use of physical agents and stretching, some combined it with orthopaedic therapy, or it was complementary to surgical treatment. The key to improving the clinical picture was early and individualised care, tailored to the characteristics of the patients. Regarding methodological quality, the main conflicts encountered were in the reporting of participant characteristics and experimental interventions. Rehabilitation provides satisfactory results in the treatment of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. More scientific production and randomised clinical trials are needed.

“…Activity and physical activity participation goals will be evaluated by the Goal Attainment Scaling-GAS [43,44]. GAS is patient centred and has been widely used to quantify the achievement or fulfillment of goals previously defined in an intervention program [43][44][45][46]. In this study, goals will be selected by caregivers.…”

Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children have lower levels of participation in recreational and sporting activities when compared to their peers. Participation has been defined based on the Family of Participation-Related Constructs (fPRC) which defines participation as including both attendance and involvement, with sense of self, preferences and activity competence related to a child’s participation. Modified sports interventions such as Sports Stars can act on physical literacy and some of the fPRCs components. This study aims to assess the feasibility of the Sports Stars Brazil intervention for children with ASD. Methods This study will be conducted with 36 participants with ASD aged 6 to 12 years old following the CONSORT for pilot and feasibility recommendation. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. Intervention group will receive eight, weekly Sports Stars sessions. Each session will include of sports-focused gross motor activity training, confidence building, sports-education and teamwork development. Study assessments will occur at baseline, immediately post-intervention and 20-weeks post-randomization. First, we will assess process feasibility measures: recruitment, assessment completion, adherence, adverse events and satisfaction. Second, we will investigate the scientific feasibility of the intervention by estimating the effect size and variance at the level of achievement sports-related activity and physical activity participation goals (Goal Attainment Scaling), activity competence (Ignite Challenge, Test of Gross Motor Development-second edition, Physical Literacy Profile Questionnaire, Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory–Computer Adaptive Test—PEDI-CAT—mobility, 10×5 Sprint Test and Muscle Power Sprint Test), sense of self (PEDI-CAT—responsibility), and overall participation at home, school and community, (Participation and Environment Measure for children and young people, PEM-CY). Discussion The results of this feasibility study will inform which components are critical to planning and preparing a future RCT study, aiming to ensure that the RCT will be feasible, rigorous and justifiable. Trial registration The trial was registered with the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials database (ID: RBR-9d5kyq4) on June 15, 2022.

Task-specific training has been shown to be an effective neuromotor rehabilitation intervention, however, this repetitive approach is not always very engaging. Virtual reality (VR) systems are becoming increasingly popular in therapy due to their ability to encourage movement through customizable and immersive environments. Additionally, VR can allow for a standardization of tasks that is often lacking in upper extremity research. Here, 16 healthy participants performed upper extremity movement tasks synced to music, using a commercially available VR game known as Beat Saber. VR tasks were customized to characterize participants’ joint angles with respect to each task’s specified cardinal direction (inward, outward, upward, or downward) and relative task location (medial, lateral, high, and/or low). Movement levels were designed using three common therapeutic approaches: (1) one arm moving only (unilateral), (2) two arms moving in mirrored directions about the participant’s midline (mirrored), or (3) two arms moving in opposing directions about the participant’s midline (opposing). Movement was quantified using an XSens System, a wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) technology. Results reveal a highly engaging and effective approach to quantifying movement strategies. Inward and outward (horizontal) tasks resulted in decreased wrist extension. Upward and downward (vertical) tasks resulted in increased shoulder flexion, wrist radial deviation, wrist ulnar deviation, and elbow flexion. Lastly, compared to opposing, mirrored, and unilateral movement levels often exaggerated joint angles. Virtual reality games, like Beat Saber, offer a repeatable and customizable upper extremity intervention that has the potential to increase motivation in therapeutic applications.
