AbstractThis article explores the often-overlooked tragedy of promising happiness through overcoming disability. It draws on qualitative interviews and focus groups with 36 adults with cerebral palsy to explore how medical discourse shapes the ways in which individuals are encouraged to pursue a good life, leading to unintended consequences. Sara Ahmed's theory of happiness is used to understand the dialectics of pursuing a good life through overcoming disability, revealing how medical interventions and discourse during childhood inadvertently contribute to feelings of inferiority and social alienation. The article highlights the need to reconsider how individuals with disabilities are encouraged to pursue a good life, emphasizing the paradox of disabling effects arising from attempts to minimize and overcome disability.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027795362500098X

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share the case of a Navy SEAL candidate with severe scapular winging and progressive serratus anterior paralysis after months of failed treatment. I walk through the anatomy of the long thoracic nerve and serratus anterior in detail, including the entrapment sites, fascial relationships, and neural connections that can completely change how you assess and treat these cases. I also share how integrating neural manipulation, visceral treatment, mobility work, and targeted strengthening helped this athlete regain function far faster than expected.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The most common entrapment locations for the long thoracic nerve and why they matter clinicallyHow cervical compression, thoracic outlet mechanics, and breathing patterns may contribute to scapular wingingWhy upward rotation mobility is just as important as strengthening in serratus anterior rehabPractical strategies for restoring upward rotation strength, scapular control, and thoracic mobilityThis case is a great example of why treating the body as a whole organism instead of isolating a single muscle or diagnosis can completely change clinical outcomes. Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 99: Navigating The Complex Case Of Diaphragm ParalysisMy Online Course I Mentioned - The Nerve Workshop with Missy Bunch and Anna HartmanMy Online Shoulder Course - Never Treat The Shoulder FirstLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming courses=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.

Time toxicity and shared decision-making in cerebral palsyDavid B Frumberg, Paige T Church, Nathan RosenbergPMID: 41387091 DOI: 10.1111/dmcn.70123AbstractClinicians and families regularly enter into a process of shared decision-making. Seldom, if ever, however, is the critical question of time usage, or, more specifically, time-related burdens, accounted for when establishing goals and outcome measures. Time-related burdens are not included, for instance, as an outcome measure in cerebral palsy research-something which may have profound effects about which we are unaware. By contrast, in the field of oncology, time-related burdens, or, more technically, what has been termed time toxicity, has been increasingly studied. Building on that work, we seek to apply the concept of time toxicity to people with disabilities who interface with healthcare at great frequency.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41387091/

Longitudinal decline in upper-limb range of motion in adults with cerebral palsyErika Cloodt, Jenny Hedberg-Graff, Anna Lindgren, Marianne Arner, Evgenia Manousaki, Katina Pettersson, Elisabet Rodby-BousquetAbstractAim: To analyse longitudinal changes in passive range of motion (ROM) in the upper limb in adults with cerebral palsy (CP).Method: Passive ROM for shoulder abduction and flexion, supination, and elbow and wrist extension was analysed in a longitudinal cohort of adults aged 16 to 76 years from the Swedish CP registry. Individual ROM trajectories and mean ROM curves were calculated using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). A mixed-effects model was used to examine changes over 3 to 13 years 7 months.Results: In total, 1395 adults with CP were analysed (769 males, 626 females; median age 26 years). A continuous decline in shoulder ROM, supination, and wrist extension was observed across all MACS levels. Decline rates differed between MACS levels for shoulder flexion, elbow extension, and wrist extension, with steeper declines at higher MACS levels (levels IV and V). Adults classified in lower MACS levels (I and II) had greater initial ROM and slower declines compared to adults classified in higher MACS levels.Interpretation: Upper-limb ROM continuously declined in adults with CP, particularly at higher MACS levels. The varied decline rates highlight the need for tailored interventions and systematic follow-up to maintain ROM and functional ability, especially among individuals at higher risk.

The trochlear nerve (CN IV) has the single task of innervating the superior oblique muscle. Unfortunately the actions of this muscle on the eye are a little awkward to understand, so how is the eye affected if the trochlear nerve is injured?

Another one of my favourite kinds of stories; a mother sherlocking her children's symptoms! Jane shares some really special stories of resolving her son's growing pains, nighttime congestion, as well as a super cool solve of Bell's Palsy facial paralysis! She also tells us about her daughter's aggressive constellation over being misunderstood. We get a great example of both the outward aggressive outbursts as well as inward aggressive behaviours such as nail biting and skin picking. We also get some sweet insight into her newborn baby's acne and sneezing. And finally, she tells us about how she used GNM to help her friend's kids resolve an ongoing cough.It is so incredible to hear how this German New Medicine can give us such an in depth insight into our children's lives and help them resolve symptoms before they become chronic. So many good lessons here, thank you Jane:)

Hip Displacement in Spastic Hemiplegia: Increased Risk with Hip Internal Rotation and Adduction Irrespective of Sagittal Gait PatternZhe Yuan, Alexander Aretakis, Chris Church, M Wade Shrader, Freeman Miller, Anuj Gupta, Arianna Trionfo, Jason J HowardAbstractBackground: Hip displacement (HD), common in cerebral palsy (CP), is reportedly less prevalent for spastic hemiplegia. Patients with a Winter-Gage-Hicks (WGH) type IV gait pattern are believed at increased risk of HD, but true prevalence is unknown. This study aimed to analyze the rates of HD according to the sagittal plane-based WGH classification and identify associated risk factors.Methods: Patients with hemiplegic CP, ≥1 instrumented gait analysis (IGA), hip surveillance radiograph(s), and minimum 2-year follow-up were included. The primary outcome was presence of an "unsuccessful hip" defined as a migration percentage ≥30% and/or undergoing reconstructive osteotomies for HD. Secondary outcome variables included WGH type, previous surgery, sex, scoliosis, epilepsy, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, gastrostomy tube, and IGA-derived hip kinematics.Results: Included were 144 patients (39.6% female), classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System I (45.1%) or II (54.9%), mean follow-up 9.6 ± 4.6 years. Seventeen patients (11.8%) had an unsuccessful hip outcome (age 11.6 ± 3.6 years). Stratified by WGH type, unsuccessful hip outcome rates were I: 9.5% (2/21), II: 9.4% (6/64), III: 6.7% (2/30), and IV: 24.1% (7/29); age at onset was not different between WGH types (p = 0.8). Multivariate analysis identified hip internal rotation (odds ratio [OR]: 4.7, confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-18.1, p = 0.02) and hip adduction (OR: 5.2, CI: 1.2-22.1, p = 0.02) as significant independent risk factors.Conclusion: The rates of HD in spastic hemiplegia were higher than expected for all WGH types, particularly IV. A high index of suspicion and regular hip surveillance radiographs is required for patients with hip internal rotation and adduction, starting during preadolescence.Level of evidence: III-Retrospective cohort observational study.

Feeling like you can't do anything because you don't know where to start'—Parents' Perspectives of Barriers and Facilitators to Accessing Early Detection for Children at Risk of Cerebral PalsyAbstractBackground: Early detection of cerebral palsy (CP) risk is possible from 12 weeks corrected gestational age (CGA) using standardised assessments; however, up to half of children at risk are not referred early, missing out on early intervention. We investigated the barriers and facilitators to accessing early intervention from the perspective of parents of children who did not receive services by 6 months CGA.Methods: Parents of children with CP were invited to participate in qualitative semistructured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and develop themes.Results: Eight mothers of children who did not receive standardised screening participated in interviews, from which three themes, 'responding to delays', 'systemic barriers' and 'complexities of diagnosis', were developed from the data.Conclusions: Parents require more support to access and engage in early detection services; health system processes are difficult to navigate, and health professionals require education and training to recognise risk factors for CP in all health settings and refer promptly. Improving system processes, education and training and partnering early with parents to improve their experience when interacting with the health system may increase early engagement and optimise long-term outcomes for children at risk of CP and their families.Keywords: cerebral palsy; diagnosis; mothers; paediatrics; qualitative.Child: care, health and development (Open Access)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40435382/

This Opie Radio podcast Supercut features an emotional NYC Marathon story, comic Eric Angel, and live music. ​Why Watch This Supercut: This high-energy highlights reel captures the best moments from the Opie Radio podcast recorded live. From tears at the marathon to heated comedy debates, we cover it all. ​ ​Emotional Marathon Moment: Why Opie started "balling" at mile 26. ​Cerebral Palsy Hero: The incredible story of a man carried 26.2 miles. ​Israeli Comedy: Eric Angel talks Jewish inventions and "nothing new" at museums. ​Live Performance: Michael G. Potter & Interstate Johnson cover "Wish You Were Here". ​Podcast Chaos: Election watch parties, car safety fails, and sorority life.

This week’s episode is equal parts chaotic, honest, and deeply meaningful as Morgan is joined by her sister Taylor and her 11-week-old niece, Collyns for a special holiday week conversation. Taylor opens up about becoming a first-time mom, what no one truly prepares you for after birth, and how motherhood reshapes everything. From marriage and identity to sleep, patience, and trust in your own instincts. They talk candidly about pregnancy plans going out the window, postpartum realities, breastfeeding struggles, Bell’s Palsy in the midst of recovery, and the emotional weight of those early weeks that don’t get talked about enough. From choosing the right partner, navigating life with dogs and a newborn, and leaning on community, to trusting your “mom gut” and tuning out outside noise, this episode is an honest look at what it really means to bring a life into the world. It’s a sister conversation filled with love, laughter, tears, baby noises, and perspective for anyone who’s a mom, hopes to be one someday, or just wants a deeper understanding of this season of life.
