Meeting at a Glance

2 American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine

64th Annual Meeting

Welcome

Washington, D.C: truly an international gateway, capital, and a perfect setting for the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine. This year’s theme is “Shared Learning / Global Perspective”, where we hope to gain some insight into the cultural, social, and medical aspects of those caring for individuals with disability around the world. We offer this in addition to a robust (actually completely packed!) meeting with plenary sessions, scientifi c papers and posters, instructional courses, breakfasts, pre-conferences, and … what have we forgotten … oh yes, social events!

The scientifi c program committee deserves the credit for reviewing a record number of abstract submissions, and I want to personally thank Kristie Bjornson and Maureen o’Donnell for testing some boundaries as we try out electronic posters (E-Posters), a moderated Poster Preview session, expanded Pre-Conference sessions, and continually asking each other, “What would make YoU want to attend this meeting?” From a scientifi c standpoint I think you will be pleased and fascinated at the breadth of offerings - there is literally something for absolutely everyone.

on the social front we are presenting two amazing venues. We would like to thank our sponsors, listed on page 49, that have made these events possible. our opening reception on Wednesday night, co-hosted with UCP, is at the Newseum. The Newseum presents the history of news reporting from the earliest known newspapers, has all the local headlines from around the world, and even has part of the Berlin Wall inside. And our social event on Friday night is at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where we’ve closed the entire museum except for our members and their guests. No crowds, just you and your friends, along with Skylab, the Lunar Module, the Space Shuttle, and the fl ight simulators! (Remember to sign up.)

So welcome to Washington, D.C. Thank you for taking time out of your practices and away from your families. We think it will be a week you’ll fi nd worthwhile.

Scott Hoffi nger, MD Vice President

General Information

NEW THIS YEAR: Moderated Poster Preview Session and E-PostersPosters are a very important part of the AACPDM Annual Meetings – but it can be overwhelming to work your way through all the posters in the Exhibit Hall before the meeting is over. To help you find what you are looking for, at this year’s meeting, posters will be highlighted in 2 new ways: a fast-paced oral “Poster Preview” session will be held as part of the General session, AND E-Posters will offer a new electronic option for your viewing.

The moderated oral “Poster Preview” session will take place on Thursday, September 23rd at 3:10 pm in the Thurgood Marshall Ballroom as the final component of the afternoon’s General Session. In this rapid-fire moderated session, a group of selected poster presenters from a wide variety of disciplines and topics will each introduce you to their posters. Each will only have one minute to introduce you to their topic/ research question, methods, and/or findings. Their job will be to tell you enough to help you decide if it’s a topic you want to learn more about, and all in just one minute each! This fast paced event will provide you with a lot of information about the posters very quickly. It will help you get some of the fantastic information in this year’s posters and will, we hope, entice you to go to view all the posters and learn even more. We want you to get the information from posters that is most applicable and interesting to you. Be sure to attend this exciting new event!

So what is an E-Poster? An E-Poster is an electronic version of the traditional paper poster in PowerPoint format, and is displayed on a monitor. This year, in addition to traditional paper posters on bulletin boards, Scientific Poster Presenters were given the opportunity to submit their poster as an E-Poster. There will be 4 computer kiosks in the Exhibit Hall dedicated to E-Posters. (This is in addition to the Internet Café that you can also find in the Exhibit Hall). E-Posters will also be posted on the AACPDM website for 2 months after the meeting. E-Posters increase exposure to the work and allow people to view the poster in the comfort of their hotel room or even at home after the meeting. Stop by Exhibit Hall C to check out the E-Posters. E-Posters can also be accessed 24 hours a day at www.aacpdm.org.Thank you to all the Poster Presenters who took on the extra work to participate in the Poster Preview and/or to submit an E-Poster!

No SmokingSmoking is prohibited at all Annual Meeting sessions and events.

AttireAttire for the educational sessions of the meeting is business casual. Please bring a jacket or sweater, as room temperatures may vary.

Camera/Recording PolicyIt is the policy of AACPDM that no cameras are permitted in the meeting sessions, exhibit hall, or poster sessions. Please refrain from taking any photos in those locations. Audio or videotaping is prohibited.

FDA DisclaimerSome medical devices or pharmaceuticals not cleared by the FDA or cleared by the FDA for a specific use only may be used “off-label” (i.e., a use not described on the product’s label) if, in the judgment of the treating physician, such use is medically indicated to treat a patient’s condition. “off label” uses of a device or pharmaceutical

FDA Disclaimer, continued.

Continuing EducationAnnual Meeting: An international forum for the dissemination and exchange of new knowledge, ideas and educational information between participants from all disciplines.

Monthly Grand Round Webinars: A series of online lectures presented by AACPDM members on various topics that have been identified as being of significant interest to our membership. Participants have the option of listening to the Grand Round and communicating with the speaker online or interacting directly with the speaker through a tollfree telephone line.

Tutorials: one-day instructional learning sessions hosted by an AACPDM Tutorial Advisor (a member who is recognized as an expert in the subject at hand). The subjects are diverse, but all include some type of ‘hands-on’ experience. The intent is to have small group sessions (approximately 8-12 participants) that can focus on a specific intervention or technique.

PublicationsDevelopmental Medicine and Child Neurology (DMCN) is the official journal of the AACPDM. This peer reviewed journal is recognized internationally as the leader in the field. Members can choose to select from a list of Clinics in Developmental Medicine series books in replace of DMCN Journal. This option is available to Fellow Members of the AACPDM.

The AACPDM creates a quarterly newsletter and periodic broadcast e-mails about various events and activities in the industry. Members assist in developing informational materials to keep the public informed about advances in treating cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities.

ResearchThe AACPDM offers the opportunity for members to apply for a Clinical Research Planning Grant. The purpose of this planning grant is to provide support to bring together investigators from geographically disparate locations, obtain statistical consultation and develop a multicenter research study plan. The goal is to provide the forum and initial planning to develop a successful grant submission for full funding through some larger agency (e.g., NIH, UCP, NIDRR, CDC, CIHR etc). The grant should focus on an important clinical question relevant to the membership of AACPDM, and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team is expected.

Course Level: Beginner

Course Purposes: To provide attendees with a synthesis of the current state of knowledge regarding fitness in children with physical disabilities with a particular focus on those with cerebral palsy. The areas of body composition and obesity, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, self efficacy, and barriers to activities will be covered.

To provide attendees with information on the practical aspects of implementing fitness programs within their communities and the child’s day to day activities. Examples of mentor models such as the opening Doors: Project Adventure and ways to integrate fitness programs for children with disabilities within existing community recreation programs will be presented.

Target Audience: This course is relevant to clinicians (in particular physical and occupational therapists) treating children with disabilities with a particular focus on children with cerebral palsy, individuals conducting research focusing on health and physical fitness in children, and any individual interested in learning more about implementing fitness programs for children with disabilities.

Course Summary: This course will focus on the current state of knowledge regarding fitness in children with physical disabilities with a particular focus on those with cerebral palsy. A synthesis of the relevant information from current studies in the areas of body composition and obesity, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength and power, flexibility, self efficacy and participation and barriers to activities will be presented. Despite knowing the importance of integrating fitness and recreational activities into the lives of children with disabilities many clinicians and families find it difficult to implement. Therefore, this course will have a particular focus on the practical aspects of implementing fitness programs within your community and the child’s day to day activities. Among

the programs discussed will be examples of mentor models such as the opening Doors: Project Adventure and ways to integrate fitness programs for children with disabilities within existing community recreation programs. Experiences, pitfalls and lessons learned will be keys to the presentations.

Learning Objectives:1. To gain knowledge of current research in the areas of fitness,

recreation and health for children with disabilities.2. To gain knowledge of how children with disabilities can

participate in programs that promote fitness and health.3. To become aware of current programs promoting fitness and

recreation for children with disabilities.4. To gain knowledge of strategies to use when implementing a

fitness program in a child’s life or within a community.

PC4 - Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Disorders in ChildrenLocation: Thurgood Marshall - SoUTHWEST

Authors/Presenters:Terence D. Sanger, MD PhD; Katharine Alter, MD; Darcy Fehlings, MD MSc FRCPC; Donald Gilbert, MD MS

Course Level: Beginner/Intermediate

Target Audience: This course is relevant to clinicians, including physicians, surgeons, and therapists, who treat children with complex movement disorders arising from cerebral palsy and acquired or hereditary diseases of the central nervous system.

Course Summary: Selection of symptomatic treatment for children with cerebral palsy is complicated by the fact that many children have more than one disorder of the motor system. Appropriate treatment depends on accurate diagnosis, as well as determining which movement disorders are most responsible for disability in an individual child. In this course, we will discuss the definitions of disorders of movement including spasticity, dystonia, rigidity, weakness, reduced selective motor control, ataxia, dyspraxia, athetosis, chorea, myoclonus, and tremor. We will provide examples of children with mixed movement disorders and discuss clinical and laboratory methods for identifying multiple disorders in the same child. We will discuss how to use this information to select from available treatments, including constraint therapy, botulinum toxin, serial casting, levodopa, trihexyphenidyl, orthopedic surgery, intrathecal baclofen, and deep-brain stimulation. The course will be organized around discussion of individual cases. Each presenter will give a brief didactic component on diagnosis and treatment, followed by a series of sample cases. Each case will be discussed by the other presenters including alternative approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Learning Objectives: 1. To gain familiarity with the terminology and diagnosis of

complex movement disorders.2. To understand how to identify which components of the

movement disorder are most likely to be responsible for a child’s disability.

BRK1 - THE IMPoRTANCE oF BEING EARNEST ABoUT SHANK AND THIGH KINEMATICS WHEN DESIGNING ALIGNING AND TUNING ANKLE-FooT oRTHoSIS FooTWEAR CoMBINATIoNSLocation: Wilson A

Presenters: Elaine owen MSc SRP MCSP, Superintendent and Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist, Child Development Centre, Bangor, UK Donald McGovern CPo, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL Stefania Fatone PhD, BPo(Hons), Research Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL

Purpose: This session aims to introduce participants to the importance of segment kinematics in understanding and classifying standing and gait, as well as designing, aligning and tuning AFo-FCs to optimise standing balance, stepping, gait and function.

Target Audience: Relevant to clinicians & researchers including Physical Therapists, orthotists, Rehabilitation Engineers, Pediatric Neurologists, Pediatric orthopaedic Surgeons, Pediatric Physiatrists, Pediatricians, Kinesiologists.

Summary: This session will present a fresh approach to the analysis of normal and pathological standing and gait. Many current myths about standing, gait and orthotic intervention will be challenged and their origins explored e.g. the commonly held notion that the ankle angle in an AFo should be neutral. A more objective understanding of standing, gait and optimum orthotic intervention will be offered. Video Vector gait lab examples will include normal gait, pathological gait as well as the use of un-tuned and tuned AFo-FCs. Printed handouts & CD provided.

Learning Objective 1: Categorize pathological gait by shank segment deviation

Learning Objective 2: Discuss a clinical algorithm to determine the optimum sagittal ankle angle in an AFo

Learning Objective 3: Discuss a clinical algorithm for designing, aligning and tuning AFo-FCs

BRK2 - EVALUATING oUR RESIDENTS AND FELLoWS: HoW CAN WE BE SURE WHAT THEY KNoW AND Do?Location: Wilson B

Authors/Presenters: Maureen o’Donnell, MD MSc FRCPC; Diane Moddemann, MD MEd FRCPC; Golda Milo- Manson, MD MHSc FRCPC

Purpose: This breakfast seminar will provide attendees with an overview of current and newly proposed assessment and evaluation tools used to assess residents’ knowledge and performance in specialty and sub-specialty residency training programs of all kinds - medical and surgical. A focus on the challenges and solutions for assessing performance in the field of childhood disability will be undertaken.

Target Audience: Those who are involved in the provision of formal training programs and evaluation of residents and subspecialty residents/ fellows. Clinical educators and training program directors may be particularly interested. Tools will be applicable to all medical specialties therefore audience from diverse medical specialties will benefit from attending.

Course Summary: Evaluating the skills of residents and fellows in formal specialty and subspecialty programs is critical. Traditionally, written and oral examinations had been used to assess the ability of the trainee. However, it is recognized that while assessment of what the trainee knows through oral or written assessment is important, the assessment of what the trainee can show and actually does is also essential. This is important to both medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties.

This Breakfast seminar will provide an overview of the tools currently available to assess residents’ and fellows’ performance across Miller’s triangle and diverse physician roles. Tools reviewed will include non-clinical methods (such as written exams, oral exams and oSCE’s) and clinical methods such as Daily Encounter Cards (DEC’s), multi-source feedback tools, log books and learning portfolios. Applicability to medical and surgical specialties will be discussed. Both formative feedback and summative evaluation methods and tools will be highlighted. Participants will have opportunity to ask questions, discuss and share the tools they have had experience using.

Learning Objective 1: To provide an overview of an evaluation framework, both formative and summative including brief review of Miller’s triangle.

Learning Objective 2: To review in detail clinical evaluation tools and non-clinical evaluation tools.

Learning Objective 3: To discuss which tools are best utilize to meet various types of training objectives for childhood disability – both at the formative stage and summative stage.

Learning Objective 4: To provide the group with an opportunity to share our evaluation pearls.

7:00 am - 7:50 am Breakfast with the Experts Sessions (cont.)


64th Annual MeetingThursday

September 23

Target Audience: All concerned with improving participation and quality of life for children with motor impairments.

Course Summary: Multiple advances are responsible for a paradigm shift in management of children with motor impairments. Clinical practices previously focused on normal movement; current practice emphasizes functional activity and participation in society across the life span. Independent locomotion is necessary for this. Assistive devices make it possible for even very young and severely involved children. Appropriate and optimal motor performance is no longer restricted to use of normal movement patterns. Presenters will discuss these advances, the resulting paradigm shift, evidence for context therapy, and outcomes of use of motorized devices.

Learning Objective 1: Knowledge of advances causing significant shift in paradigm underpinning clinical practice to understand “why” effective mobility is crucial to optimizing function and participation

Learning Objective 2: Cause clinicians to assess the paradigm underlying their current practice, assist them to change their paradigm, if necessary, and to understand “who” is responsible for provision of effective mobility

Learning Objective 3: Knowledge of context therapy and “why” alternative means of effective mobility promote motor development and performance

Learning Objective 4: Knowledge of outcomes of early powered mobility to severely impaired children to understand how effective mobility prevents developmental delay in social-emotional, language, and cognitive domains to understand “how” and “when” effective mobility should be provided

BRK4 - PRACTICAL APPLICATIoN oF ITEM RESPoNSE THEoRY AND CoMPUTER ADAPTIVE TESTING FoR MEASURING HEALTH STATUS oUTCoMES IN PEDIATRICSLocation: Harding

Presenters: Carole A. Tucker, PhD; Katherine B. Bevans, PhD

Purpose: To provide health professionals with a basic understanding of item response theory (IRT) and computer adaptive testing (CAT) for self- or proxy- report outcome measures of health status in pediatric populations.

Target Audience: Health professionals and researchers who routinely collect outcome questionnaires for clinical or research purposes with little knowledge or experience with IRT and/or CAT. This course will be relevant to pediatricians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, administrators, developmental specialists and others who use outcomes data. This instructional course is appropriate for individuals with little knowledge or experience with IRT and/or CAT.

Course Summary: This course will introduce health professionals to the basics of IRT including differences between IRT and classical test theory, IRT and CAT terminology, common IRT models, and application to clinical outcome measurement development. A practical approach using examples to demonstrate the steps necessary to utilize IRT/CAT approaches for item bank and outcome measurement development will be presented. Examples, and

demonstration as appropriate, of IRT and CAT outcome measures for pediatric physical health as well as socio-emotional health will be provided with opportunity for audience participation and discussion.

Learning Objective 1: Identify differences between classical test theory and IRT approaches to outcome measure development

Learning Objective 2: Qualitatively understand the common models and reported statistical parameters in IRT

Learning Objective 3: Describe the basic logic used in implementation of a CAT and scoring algorithms

Learning Objective 4: Identify the general steps needed to develop an outcome measure using IRT and CAT approaches

BRK5 - WoRK SMARTER, NoT HARDER! SIMPLIFYING CLINICAL oUTCoMES AND TRANSLATIoNAL RESEARCH AT THE PoINT oF CARELocation: Coolidge

Presenters: Sarah P. Rogers, MPH; Chris A. Lykins, BS

Purpose: To improve clinicians’ understanding of an interactive, web-based approach that merges evidence-based findings and clinical patient outcomes at the point of care in an outpatient pediatric orthopedic setting.

Target Audience: This course is relevant to all clinicians treating children with cerebral palsy in an outpatient setting.

Course Summary: Numerous research studies have been completed evaluating treatments and outcomes across several pediatric orthopedic diagnoses. Disseminating and implementing research findings at the point of care is fraught with difficulty due to lack of comprehensive access to resources. The Clinical outcomes Program sought to resolve these issues by developing a web-based tool to enter, manage, and review pediatric orthopedic clinical outcomes for children with cerebral palsy, called Electronic Clinical Health outcomes (ECHo). By integrating research comparison data with individual patient data and providing pertinent literature summaries at the point of care, ECHo establishes an important milestone in the advancement of clinical informatics in pediatric orthopedics. The history, development, implementation, key elements, clinical significance, and future directions of ECHo at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Lexington, KY will be described as one example of a clinical outcomes program. This course will help clinicians understand a roadmap for developing and implementing a similar program at their facility.

Learning Objective 1: The participant will understand the clinical necessity for developing a program such as ECHo for children with cerebral palsy.

Learning Objective 2: The participant will understand the clinical benefit of a program such as ECHo for both clinicians and patients.

Learning Objective 3: The participant will understand how ECHo translates and merges research findings into clinical practice.

Learning Objective 4: The participant will understand the interdisciplinary development process of a program such as ECHo.

NEW THIS YEAR: Moderated Poster Preview Session and E-PostersPosters are a very important part of the AACPDM Annual Meetings – but it can be overwhelming to work your way through all the posters in the Exhibit Hall before the meeting is over. To help you find what you are looking for, at this year’s meeting, posters will be highlighted in 2 new ways: a fast-paced oral “Poster Preview” session will be held as part of the General session, AND E-Posters will offer a new electronic option for your viewing.

The “Poster Preview” moderated oral poster presentation will take place on Thursday, September 23rd at 3:10 pm in the Thurgood Marshall Ballroom as the final component of the afternoon’s General Session. In this rapid-fire moderated session, a group of selected poster presenters from a wide variety of disciplines and topics will each introduce you to their posters. Each will only have one minute to introduce you to their topic/ research question, methods, and/or findings. Their job will be to tell you enough to help you decide if it’s a topic you want to learn more about, and all in just one minute each! This fast paced event will provide you with a lot of information about the posters very quickly. It will help you get some of the fantastic information in this year’s posters and will, we hope, entice you to go to view all the posters and learn even more. We want you to get the information from posters that is most applicable and interesting to you. Be sure to attend this exciting new event!

So what is an E-Poster? An E-Poster is an electronic version of the traditional paper poster in PowerPoint format, and is displayed on a monitor. This year, in addition to traditional paper posters on bulletin boards, Scientific Poster Presenters were given the opportunity to submit their poster as an E-Poster. There will be 4 computer kiosks in the Exhibit Hall dedicated to E-Posters. (This is in addition to the Internet Café that you can also find in the Exhibit Hall). E-Posters will also be posted on the AACPDM website for 2 months after the meeting. E-Posters increase exposure to the work and allow people to view the poster in the comfort of their hotel room or even at home after the meeting. Stop by Exhibit Hall C to check out the E-Posters. E-Posters can also be accessed 24 hours a day at www.aacpdm.org.Thank you to all the Poster Presenters who took on the extra work to participate in the Poster Preview and/or to submit an E-Poster!

4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Instructional Courses 1 – 10, 12

There are 40 Instructional Courses being presented in four sessions on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These sessions cover a variety of diverse topics at all skill levels and are presented by a multidisciplinary faculty.

IC 1: MANUAL ABILITY CLASSIFICATIoN SYSTEM, MACS, FoR CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSYLocation: Wilson A

Presenters: Ann-Christin Eliasson, PhD oT; Lena Krumlinde-Sundholm, PhD oT; Peter Rosenbaum, MD

Purpose: To introduce health professionals to use the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) for children with cerebral palsy and the new MACS instructional video.

Target Audience: Pediatricians, physical therapists, occupational therapists and others who have an interest in hand function

Course Summary: This course will introduce MACS and teach how to use it. The course will discuss the concept of the MACS (‘the ability to handle objects in every day life’). MACS has five levels of performance and is analogous to the GMFCS from perspectives of both concept and construction. The MACS is designed to reflect the child’s typical manual performance, not the child’s maximal capacity. It does not intend to explain the underlying reasons for limitations of performance or to classify types of cerebral palsy. Information will be presented about the process of developing the MACS as well as validity and reliability. There will also be discussion of how to use MACS for planning treatment. The course will provide time to learn and practice scoring of children from video recordings and discuss the classification system.

Learning Objective 1: To understand the differences between levels and distinctions on the MACS.

Learning Objective 2: To be able to use MACS in the clinical practice and/or research setting.


Learning Objective 3: To understand the concept of classification systems.

IC 2: QUANTIFYING THE LoSS oF SELECTIVE MoToR CoNTRoL IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY – WHAT DoES THIS PRoVIDE THE CLINICIAN?Location: Wilson B

Presenters: Julius Dewald, PT, PhD; Theresa Sukal-Moulton, PT PhD Candidate; Deborah Gaebler-Spira, MD; Kristin Krosschell, PT MA PCS; Donna Hurley, DPT PT

Purpose: To improve clinicians’ understanding of objective and quantitative measures and underlying mechanisms of the loss of selective motor control (SMC) in children and adults with supraspinal lesions including cerebral palsy (CP).

Target Audience: This course is relevant to clinicians treating individuals with CP, researchers focusing on motor impairments, and any individual interested in assessing SMC.

Course Summary: Clinical researchers will present data from studies of SMC in children and adults with neural injury (CP & stroke) and present possible neural mechanisms underlying the loss of SMC. A novel intervention used to increase motor selectivity in adults who have had a stroke will be discussed with implications for the treatment of children with CP.

Learning Objective 1: To gain an understanding of the loss of SMC in individuals with CP and other supraspinal brain injuries.

Learning Objective 2: To understand possible neural mechanisms underlying the loss of SMC following supraspinal brain injuries.

Learning Objective 3: To gain knowledge of the assessment of SMC.

BRK6 - PHYSICAL FITNESS RESEARCH IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS AND WHAT THIS MEANS FoR THE CLINICIANLocation: Wilson A

Presenter: Désirée B. Maltais, PhD PT

Purpose: To familiarize the participant with how our concept of physical fitness has evolved over the past 40 years and how this evolution has influenced physical fitness-related research and (potentially) practice in children with cerebral palsy.

Target Audience: Physical and occupational and recreational therapists who provide services to children with cerebral palsy and related conditions.

Course Summary: This course begins with a presentation that reviews basic concepts in physical fitness, physical activity and health and how these concepts along with the related research in cerebral palsy have developed over the years. The point will be made that the area has not advanced to a great extent in 40 years because we have remained focused on outcomes and not on implementation or participation in fitness-related activities for children with cerebral palsy.

BRK7 - PoTENTIAL FoR CELL-BASED THERAPY IN CEREBRAL PALSYLocation: Wilson B

Presenters: Ali Fatemi, MD; Eric Levey, MD; Alec Hoon, MD

Purpose: To provide an insight into stem cell biology, different sources of stem and progenitor cells, review results of experimental stem cell transplantation studies in animal models and discuss the prospects of cell-based interventions for patients with cerebral palsy.

Target Audience: Health Care Professionals and Students, Patient Families

Course Summary: Stem cell therapy is widely discussed as a potential intervention for Cerebral Palsy (CP). In fact, several institutions currently offer ‘stem cell therapies’ in the absence of internationally accepted, peer-reviewed scientific evidence. Animal studies suggest that exogenous stem cells and precursor cells can be incorporated into the immature brain, where they differentiate into mature cells. Consequently, replacement of the injured endogenous cells with exogenous cells may restore injured tissue. Therefore, multiple types of cell-based therapeutic approaches (e.g., involving cord blood, mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells and glial-restricted precursor cells) are potential treatment options for cerebral palsy. However, pre-clinical experiments are required before human trials can be initiated. The survival rates and effects of exogenous cells depend on the specific properties of the injured tissue, as well as the route and timing of cell delivery. Furthermore, few studies have explored the potential adverse effects of these therapies (e.g., tumor formation).

Learning Objective 1: The participant will understand the basics of stem cell biology and different sources of stem and progenitor cells.

Learning Objective 2: The participant will learn about the results of stem cell therapies in animal models of cerebral palsy or related disorders.

Learning Objective 3: The participant will understand the factors involved in efficacy of cell-based therapy.

Learning Objective 4: The participant will gain an insight into the potential benefits as well as adverse effects of cell-based interventions.

IC 17: IT IS EASIER THAN YoU THINK- USING NEURoIMAGING To IMPRoVE PATIENT CARELocation: Coolidge

Presenters: Alexander Hoon, MD; Ali Fatemi, MD; Eric Levey, MD

Purpose: To demonstrate the utility of ultrasound, CT and conventional MRI in clinical care- with a practical approach which draws on basic neurology and the expertise of neuroimaging colleagues- to sharpen diagnosis and focus treatment.

Target Audience: Clinicians interested in using imaging to improve management of their patients.

Course Summary: Neuroimaging is a powerful tool in the diagnostic evaluation of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD). Studies have consistently shown abnormalities in 70-90% of children with cerebral palsy. Results can establish a diagnosis, confirm a suspected diagnosis or direct etiologic search. The location and extent of injury/dysgenesis can help determine prognosis; as well as determine whether treatment will be directed to provide ease of care or to improve function. For example in PVL the extent of ventriculomegaly correlates with abilities. In a child with CP and a normal MRI, the treatable disorder dopa responsive dystonia is a possible diagnosis. In those with HIE and basal ganglia injury, underlying cognitive abilities may be above what can be determined by standard assessment. In summary, establishing a “confidence level” in evaluating imaging studies is both attainable and of benefit in patient care.

Learning Objective 1: The participant will understand the utility and interpretation of various neuroimaging modalities.

Learning Objective 2: The participant will recognize clinical applications of these techniques.

Learning Objective 3: The participant will understand the concept of selective vulnerability as it applies to brain dysgenesis/injury and recovery.

IC 18: SCALE: ASSESSMENT oF SELECTIVE VoLUNTARY MoToR CoNTRoL IN SPASTIC CPLocation: Harding

Presenters: Eileen Fowler, PhD PT; Loretta Staudt, MS PT; Marcia Greenberg, MS PT; William oppenheim, MD

Purpose: To instruct experienced clinicians in the use and administration of SCALE, a clinical tool for assessment of selective voluntary motor control (SVMC) in patients with spastic cerebral palsy. The reliability and validity of the SCALE tool have been established (Fowler et. al. Dev Med Child Neurol, 2009). The tool and its clinical and research applications will be presented. Participants will have an opportunity to practice scoring patients using videotaped assessments. The use of this tool in clinical decision-making will be discussed.

Target Audience: This course is designed for clinicians and researchers in cerebral palsy.

Course Summary: The role of SVMC assessment in clinical practice and research will be discussed. The relationship of

SVMC to other impairments such as strength and spasticity will be explored. The SCALE tool will be presented for each joint and the patient positioning, examiner instructions and score sheet will be explained. The criteria for each SVMC grade will be described, providing participants with the knowledge and skill to independently assess SVMC. Participants will have an opportunity to use the tool to assess all lower extremity joints on a variety of videotaped patient examples exhibiting a range of SVMC. Discussion and feedback on the participants’ skills will be provided. The reliability and validity of the SCALE will be presented, along with more recent research findings on the clinical relevance of the anatomical distribution of SCALE scores in patients with spastic CP. The use of SCALE scores in surgical decision making and its role in therapeutic treatment interventions, including robotic treadmill training, will be discussed.

Learning Objective 1: To become familiar with the purpose, content and administration of SCALE, a clinical tool for evaluation of SVMC.

Learning Objective 2: To increase knowledge of the literature, clinical relevance and research regarding SVMC.

Learning Objective 3: To learn the scoring system for SCALE.

Learning Objective 4: To understand the role of SVMC assessment in clinical decision-making, research and evidence-based practice.

IC 19: DYSToNIA RECoGNITIoN AND MANAGEMENT IN CEREBRAL PALSYLocation: Thurgood Marshall - SoUTH

Presenters: Mary-Clare Waugh, MD; Kirsty Stewart, MS; Jenny Lewis, BS; James Rice, MD

Purpose: This video based interactive workshop will focus on the recognition and the management of dystonia in Cerebral Palsy to identify its impact functionally and to differentiate it from other dyskinesias.

Target Audience: Clinicians who manage children with cerebral palsy Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, occupational Therapists, orthopedic Surgeons, orthotists, Physiotherapists, Pediatricians, Physiatrists.

Course Summary: Dystonia is defined as a hyperkinetic movement disorder (dyskinesias) characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions that cause twisting and repetitive movements, abnormal postures or both. The identification of dystonia is important in the management algorithm in cerebral palsy. Some medical treatments such as Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy are contraindicated in children with significant dystonia, so its recognition and diagnosis is clinically important. Therapy strategies need to be carefully selected when significant dystonia is present. Dystonia and spasticity often co-exist in CP so determining the predominant motor difficultly assists treatment. The workshop will define and demonstrate dystonia and other dyskinesias using multiple video presentations. Assessment tools for dystonia such as the Barry Albright Dystonia Scale, Gross Motor Function Classification System, Manual Ability Classification System, Goal Attainment Scaling and the Canadian occupational Performance

64th Annual MeetingSaturday

September 25

Course Summary: Recent evidence supports the use of motor learning principled approaches to pediatric rehabilitation as best practice. Neurophysiological and behavioral evidence indicates that appropriate intervention dosing leads to multiple levels of change - from cellular to behavioral outcomes. often the appropriate practice dosage makes it difficult for children to participate in clinic-based, intensive intervention programs. The availability of the newest generation of consumer home-based console systems which use motion-based controls (e.g. Nintendo Wii and WiiFit) provides opportunity for frequent practice of balance and motor skills as “play”. The presence of such systems within clinics, homes, schools and rehabilitation centers is now common, with people of all ages using these systems as a means of physical training. Clinical research into the efficacy of these systems as a rehabilitation tool is emerging, and can be augmented by the capability to automatically collect acceleration and balance board measures (center of force) during play. In this session we will provide an update on current motor learning theories, followed by discussion and demonstration of the use of gaming systems to support intensive balance and motor skill training in children.

Learning Objective 1: Understand current theories and evidence of motor learning principles.

Learning Objective 2: Explain how knowledge of learning and recovery of function can be applied in clinical practice.

Learning Objective 3: Identify the current forms of movement quantification that can be obtained from game consoles and related control devices.

Learning Objective 4: Identify motor learning components for a home intervention program using gaming consoles for balance and motor skill training.

IC 28: DIAGNoSTIC EVALUATIoN oF THE CHILD WITH SUSPECTED CEREBRAL PALSYLocation: Coolidge

Presenters: Eric Levey, MD; Alec Hoon, MD; Ali Fatemi, MD

Purpose: To provide an approach to diagnosis in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and other motor disorders. our intent is show how a comprehensive history, neurological examination and selected testing can lead to an effective management plan.

Target Audience: Health care professionals involved in diagnosis.

Course Summary: CP describes a group of motor syndromes secondary to a wide range of genetic and acquired disorders. Evaluation begins with a history, including details of prenatal, perinatal and postnatal course. Family history is important to identify potential genetic disorders. RoS should include questions about vision, hearing, seizures and developmental regression. Neurological examination should include a careful examination for spasticity, rigidity and hypotonia; and observation for dystonia, athetosis, chorea and ataxia- with characterization into spastic diplegic, hemiplegic, quadriplegic and dyskinetic phenotypes. A brain MRI is often the initial diagnostic test of choice. Studies have shown that 70-90% of children with CP have abnormalities on brain MR imaging, which can guide further etiologic investigation. Etiologic diagnosis may have important ramifications for medical treatment, prognosis and recurrence risk.

Learning Objective 1: The participant will understand that the term cerebral palsy encompasses a group of genetic and acquired disorders of early brain development, frequently with characteristic clinical phenotypes.

Learning Objective 2: The participant will understand the importance of a comprehensive history and examination, combined with an MRI to focus the diagnostic work-up of children with suspected CP.

Mac Keith Press Sponsor of the Basic Science Lectureship and the Promising Career Award

Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology was set up in 1958 to educate health professionals about cerebral palsy and to encourage research into it. The inspiration for this was Dr Ronald Mac Keith, a charismatic paediatrician from Guy¹s Hospital in London. Mac Keith Press was set up as the independent publisher of DMCN and of a related series of books.

In 1962, the AACPDM adopted DMCN as its membership journal, an association that strengthened the journal’s status as pre-eminent in its field significantly. Mac Keith Press values its close link with the Academy highly and hopes it will continue for many more years.

A promise to simplify care for a complex condition.

Ranked 6th in the nation for pediatric orthopedics by U.S. News & World Report, the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware is one of the largest programs in the Mid-Atlantic region solely dedicated to caring for children with cerebral palsy.

Because cerebral palsy is a complex medical condition, we serve the full needs of the family and child through unified specialty clinics focusing on spasticity and movement disorder management, feeding and bone fragility treatment programs, and assistance device assessment. Visits to multiple specialists can often be scheduled on the same day to help families coordinate care.

With advanced diagnostic tools like our Gait and Motion Analysis Lab and treatment options like the Baclofen pump, we’re setting the standard for cerebral palsy care. And fulfilling our promise to children and families. Your child. Our promise.

For appointments call 800-416-4441. Learn more at Nemours.org.
