Join Sheila and Sara this week as they explore the principles of motor learning and how they apply to pediatric rehabilitation. They discuss the importance of active learning and the contextual factors necessary for children to acquire age-appropriate skills. They discuss the two types of knowledge involved in motor skill acquisition, explicit and implicit, and the benefits of external focus instructions. They also emphasize the role of feedback in the motor learning process, highlighting the importance of addressing errors and providing guidance on critical components of performance. They discuss the optimal frequency of feedback and the value of random practice schedules for enhanced learning. Sheila and Sara then shift their focus to musculoskeletal development and adaptation. They explore the effects of immobilization, spasticity, and bone development on motor function. They also provide insights into the changes seen in lower extremity bone development as children grow, as well as the always confusing topics of hip torsion and version. Gain valuable insights and practical tips that will support your test-taking and clinical practice. Tune in now to enhance your understanding of motor learning and musculoskeletal development in pediatric rehabilitation!

Career Opportunities in PM&R: Pediatric Rehabilitation Fellowships by Physiatry News

It is estimated that 3-10% of people in the developing world are disabled. The care of disabled children in Sub Saharan Africa is nearly nonexistent. Africa lacks sufficient specialists to provide reasonable care for the vast majority of disabled children, and very few training programs are training such specialists in Africa. A remedial solution for surgical care is necessary in order to provide for this need. Selected doctors with surgical skills might be trained to provide 10-15 surgical procedures thereby providing care for possibly 80-85% of the surgical needs of the disabled. I am a general surgeon who began providing surgical care for the disabled thirty years ago. The care expanded to include children with polio, club feet, burn contractures, club feet, hypospadias, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, and various other disabilities.
