Activity-Based Restorative Therapy Promotes Progression from Asymmetry to Symmetry in Posture and Gait in a Child with Chronic, Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury. Incomplete spinal cord injuries in pediatrics and adults can lead to asymmetric motor impairments exhibiting as asymmetries of posture and gait. Activity-based restorative therapies take advantage of activity-dependent neuroplasticity to change an individual’s neuromuscular capacity.

Spinal Cord Injury at Birth, Expected Medical and Health Complexity in Chronic Injury Guided Anew by Activity-Based Restorative Therapy: Case Report. Infancy is a rich period of sensorimotor experiences, typically learning through trial and error, that together with maturation and activity-dependent plasticity drive development. Infants who have interruptions to development due to injury, alter the malleable natural learning process and are at risk for maladaptive neuroplasticity.

New Online Course Open for Registration. Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) SATCo is the only current measure that can quantify different types and intermediate levels of trunk control prior to independent sitting. This highly recommended course developed for all clinicians and researchers who want to learn how to administer and score the SATCo for typically and atypically developing children across diagnostic groups and settings.
