Retrospective Case Study

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of an integrated physiotherapy, and speech pathology approach to pediatric dysphagia assessment and treatment. Method A single retrospective case study design was used for a 3:2 year old child (Y) with a dysphagia only diagnosis over a 2:8 year period. An integrated feeding and postural assessment was completed. Treatment for Y then included the use of speech pathology techniques, core stability and adapted Shaker et al. (2002) exercises, and elastic therapeutic taping (ETT). Results Reassessment suggested that due to the exercises Y had improved core stability and supra-hyoid muscle strength. Videofluoroscopy (VFSS) results indicated that there was increased anterior tilt during hyolaryngeal excursion leading to reduced valleculae post swallow residue, with residue remaining at the level of the cricopharyngeus and pyriform sinuses. Elastic therapeutic taping (ETT) was then used with the aim of supporting an increase in superior hyolaryngeal movement. Results showed that in the absence of being able to create change in superior hyo-laryngeal excursion, ETT potentially altered Y's swallow pattern positively. It was hypothesized this was due to improved sensory awareness. Conclusion In summary, an integrated approach allowed holistic assessment and treatment of the varied aspects of Y's dysphagia.

AbstractObjectivesWearable fitness devices are increasingly used by the general population, with new applications being proposed and designed for healthy adults as well as adults with chronic diseases. Fewer, if any, studies of these devices have been conducted in healthy adolescents and teenagers, especially over a long period of time. The goal of this work was to document the successes and challenges involved in 5 years of a wearable fitness device use in a pediatric case study.Materials and MethodsComparison of five years of step counts and minutes asleep from a teenaged girl and her father.ResultsAt 60 months, this may be the longest reported pediatric study involving a wearable fitness device, and the first simultaneously involving a parent and a child. We find step counts to be significantly higher for both the adult and teen on school/work days, along with less sleep. The teen walked significantly less towards the end of the 5 year study. Surprisingly, many of the adult’s and teen’s sleeping and step counts were correlated, possibly due to coordinated behaviors.DiscussionWe end with several recommendations for pediatricians and device manufacturers, including the need for constant adjustments of stride length and calorie counts as teens are growing.ConclusionWith periodic adjustments for growth, this pilot study shows these devices can be used for more accurate and consistent measurements in adolescents and teenagers over longer periods of time, to potentially promote healthy behaviors.
