Pushing Pediatrics

We know it’s getting close to crunch time, which is why we will be going over a couple of case studies today to further help you prepare to take the PCS! We are going to break down these case studies into ways you may see questions presented on the PCS exam, but also to help you apply the knowledge you already have and utilize your memory recall. Do your best to follow along with today’s episodes without your notes! Head over to our Instagram page to see these case studies with prompts listed out, but we will only be going through them in detail on today’s episode!

This week Sheila and Sara will be going over the equipment available and used for our pediatric patients. This episode will be more general, covering the main types of equipment detailed in Campbell. However, if you are looking for a deep dive, please review the chapter on Assistive Technology in Campbell’s 6th edition. We also have episodes in previous seasons covering the Assistive Technology chapter as well as the information in Campbell’s 5th edition. We bring you this episode knowing some of you have a large experience with equipment and some of you have none. Hopefully this episode will help you along your studying journey! You got this!

Welcome back to Pushing Pediatrics! Today we will be going over the use of orthotics in the pediatric population. While we have discussed orthotics at some length in previous episodes (episode 30 - Down Syndrome and episodes 8 & 10 - Pathological Gait), we feel this subject deserves its own episode too! Please reference today’s episode in conjunction with your copy of Campbell’s 6th edition and those listed previous episodes for a complete review. We will also be discussing orthotics as it pertains to our own personal practice experiences. We hope you find today’s episode helpful! Weber A, Martin K.

We have another article review to bring to you on today’s episode! As there is yet to be a clinical practice guideline (CPG) for this patient population, this article gives a great insight into how current PTs manage children with down syndrome, what assessment tools they utilize, and interventions they prioritize. Sheila and Sara will explore the contents of this paper and discuss the implications for clinical practice as well as board exam preparation.  “Johnson R, Looper J, Fiss A.

Thanks for joining today for another episode of Pushing Pediatrics. Today Sara and Sheila will be reviewing an article you can find below in the show notes on the effectiveness of serial casting and ankle foot orthosis for toe walking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We will be discussing the methodology, results, and implications for practice as Pediatric Physical Therapists. Our intent for this review is to provide some actionable insights for practicing PTs but also to cover some board exam prep as this is a newer article that could be testable material. We hope you find today’s episode helpful!  “Barkocy M, Schilz J, Heimerl S, Chee M, Valdez M, Redmond K.
