Which of the following are evidence-based green light interventions for addressing primary and secondary impairments in children with cerebral palsy?

Pt. A is a 30 year old female with chronic low back pain.  Pain in central low back.  No radiating symptoms.   Decreased core stability.  Minimal limits with A/P mobs L3-L5.  Minimally decreased lumbar flexion and extension.  Pt. otherwise healthy Pt. B is a 30 year old female with chronic low back pain.  Pain in central low back.  No radiating symptoms.   Decreased core stability.  Minimal limits with A/P mobs L3-L5.  Minimally decreased lumbar flexion and extension.  Pt. has cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia, GMFCS Level 2).  Ambulates with loftstrand crutches. The PT has chosen to perform bridging as a core stability intervention.  What is one specific modification the PT would likely make to perform the intervention for Pt B that would be different than Pt. A?

Which of the following examination findings would the physical therapist be most concerned about and consider a red flag during an examination of a 6 month corrected age-old infant who was born 2 months premature?

Lily is a 9 month old infant who is demonstrating extensor tone throughout trunk and bilateral UE’ s and LE’s.  Her mother is having a difficult time positioning her for supine floor play.  Which of the following positioning considerations should the physical therapist recommend to the mother?

The physical therapist evaluated  a 2 year old female child with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). You identified the following problems:  unable to creep reciprocally (bunny hops across the floor), able to ambulate with hand held assistance but not without, unable to short sit without supervision due to delayed protective and equilibrium reactions (able to tailor and ring sit independently), unable to cruise (able to stand at a supportive surface),  always up on toes when standing. 2 Short Term Goals for the Duration of 6 months Sara will ambulate 100 feet with reverse posture walker with SBA only for progression to independent ambulation in 3 months. Sara will stand with her back against a wall and reach forward out of her BOS (back and hips leaving the support of the wall) with SBA only for greater than 2 seconds 2/3 trials during 3 consecutive sessions in 3 months for progression toward independent standing and increased balance during ambulation. What is your ideal recommended plan of care? (intensity and frequency) for a duration of 6 months
