3 Physical Therapy across the Life Course A Life Course Approach to Development Katherine Sullivan, PT, PhD, FAHA and Reggie Harbourne, PT, PhD, PCS Development is a life long process related to the development, peak growth, and decline of the muscular skeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary systems. Development across the life stages (transitions) Childhood, adolescence, young adult, middle adulthood, older adult, senior adult Our focus in this course will be development in utero, infant, toddler, preschool, school age, adolescence/ teenage Functional capacity changes over the life course Early life is linked to later life Early motor experiences are linked to cognitive development Sitting initiates a period of exploration and change in infant vocalization.

Parents and families have the primary (central) role in their child s development. The pediatric physical therapist collaborates with the family to implement an individualized program for the child. Families are supported through coordination of services, advocacy, and assistance to enhance the development of their child through: Positioning during daily routines and activities, Adapting toys for play, Expanding mobility options, Easing transitions from early childhood to school and into adult life. Adapting to families choice of settings: home, child care centers, preschools, schools and job sites. Child and Family Centered Practice While I have worked many hours with professionals, my parents were the key people. David, age 22 with cerebral palsy Child and Family Centered Practice Patient and Family Centered Practice Applying principles of Dignity and respect Transparent access to information Active participation Collaboration between the patient, their family and the therapist Take into account personal context and environmental context Team-based Service Delivery Models of Team Interaction Conceptual Framework for Clinical Practice Unidisciplinary Multidisciplinary Interdisciplinary Transdisciplinary Collaborative PT Models of PT service delivery Direct Integrated Consultative Monitoring Collaborative 1.

5 Constructs and Concepts That Inform Physical Therapist Practice Four major constructs and concepts inform current physical therapist practice: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the biopsychosocial model Evidence-based practice Professional values Quality assessment Model of Practice Using APTA s Guide to Physical Therapist Practice in Pediatric Settings Practice Patterns Child may have a PT diagnosis of one or more practice patterns 5B (impaired neuromotor development) 5C (non progressive CNS disorders-child) 4C (impaired muscle performance) 6B (deconditioning) Model of Practice Using APTA s Guide to Physical Therapist Practice in Pediatric Settings Structure of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model of functioning and disability.5.

Establishes the steps for intervention 2. Examines the constituents of health and the effects of disease on the individual 3. Provides a process for testing assumptions regarding the nature and cause of motor control problems 4. Suggests essential elements to examine and treat 5.

8 Evidence Based Clinical Practice in Pediatric Physical Therapy Developing Evidence Based Practice through research Translation How to implement EBP translation into the clinic: 1: Ask a clinical question 2: Find the best evidence 3: Critically appraise the evidence 4: Integrate evidence with practice 5: Evaluate effectiveness EBP is the integration of research findings, clinical expertise, individual professional opinion & values. 4 elements of good evidence (Law and McDermid (2008): 1. Awareness 2. Consultation 3. Judgment 4. Creativity It s about integrating individual clinical expertise and the best external evidence (David L. Sackett) Use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients Physical therapists are positive and indicate they are interested in learning or improving skills necessary to implement EBP Jette Phys Ther : Knowing which test to choose to use to diagnose and which intervention to deliver in order to limit or eliminate disability (or prevent disability) PT s note that they need to increase the use of evidence in their daily practice Evidence to Practice Algorithms Written guidelines to stepwise evaluation and management strategies Clinical practice guidelines Systematically developed plans to assist in health care decision making for specific clinical circumstances Clinical, critical, or care pathways Predetermined protocols that define the critical steps in exam eval and providing interventions Clinical prediction rules (CPR) Clinical findings are groups to help with screening, diagnosing, or prognostications Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG s) What are CPGs? Evidence based recommendations intended to optimize patient care. Informed by a systematic review of the literature Include assessments of the benefits and harms of alternative care options When coupled with clinical judgment and consideration for patient s preferences CPG s reduce practice in variation Improve diagnostic accuracy Promote effective interventions Discourage ineffective or potentially harmful practicies Improve patient centered health outcomes Clinical Reasoning in Pediatric Physical Therapy Practice Complex and Critical Numerous patient specific variables that influence care Innate variability in the growth and development of children Identifying and considering contextual variables Directs a clinicians actions and decisions What is Clinical Reasoning The thinking and decisionmaking of a health care provider in clinical practice Clinical reasoning the thinking or judgment behind one s action Clinical decision making is the action on this process Complex and Critical Numerous patient specific variables that influence care Innate variability in the growth and development of children Identifying and considering contextual variables Directs a clinicians actions and decisions 8
