Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have impairments in musculoskeletal function, affecting static and dynamic postural control, especially in highly complex environmental conditions. Therefore, interventions with specific task training and focus on motor learning have been recommended. In addition, technological intervention resources have been used in this context, and augmented reality (…
According to the biopsychosocial model, functionality is the result of the dynamic relationship between the conditions of body structure and function, the ability to perform activities and performance in social participation, as well as influences of contextual factors (personal and environmental). Thus, for successful intervention planning, it is necessary to understand how health / dise…
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of non-progressive disorder of the immature brain causing impairment of movement and posture. Thus, maintaining the bipedal posture is considered a major challenge for these children, which can be cited as major constraints deficits in postural control and gait. The postural control system is responsible for maintaining the stability and body orientation wit…
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) encourage the view of functionality as a health component and consider the environment as a facilitator or barrier to perform actions. It is known that the development of healthy children can be negatively influenced by the environment, this way it is important that programs of children's health focus on environm…

BACKGROUND: Recent research indicates that children with developmental delays participate less socially, either in activities involving parents and family members or in the community, directly impacting the quality of family interaction and social participation. Thus, those born preterm at biological risk are more likely to present delays. However, no studies were found that evaluated the…

Introduction: The quality of mother-child interaction is the result of a combination of maternal factors and aspects involving the infant. Thus, any change in maternal emotional conditions and infant health conditions can affect the quality of the interaction between them, harming the infant's development, especially those considered to be at biological risk, due to their greater vulnerab…

Early Intervention is intended to meet the needs of children with developmental delay or biological risk for developmental delay, being pointed out as effective due to the plasticity brain, greater in the first years of life. However, due to the pandemic of COVID-19, face-to-face care, especially for at-risk populations, had a significant reduction. Therefore, new strategies have been imp…
Children who have some type of disability, such as Down syndrome (DS),may show less engagement in participating in daily activities, and Contextual Factors (Personal and Environmental) can be facilitators or barriers to functionality of the individual, thus favoring or restricting their participation. However, it is not known which Environmental Factors influence the restriction of partic…

The COVID-19 pandemic brought several challenges to people with disabilities, and the community support offered was of great value for better coping with the pandemic. Thus, as part of a global survey, video-called interviews were conducted with people with disabilities over 18 years of age or people over 18 years of age who are related to people with disabilities of any age, as a way of …
The biopsychosocial model of health, best exemplified by the framework of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), describes functionality as the relation between the body functions and structure, the capacity of accomplishing activities and social participation. Thus, in order to plan interventions successfully, it is necessary to understand how…
Gait is one of the most impaired ability in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). CP children has impairments that lead to changes in biomechanical alignment, muscle dysfunction and consequently gait impairment. The use of Kinesiotaping ® (KT) for better biomechanical alignment, proper muscle activation is being discussed, however we did not find research publications assessing the relation …
