Gait and Posture: Novel Assessments and Interventions in Pediatric Population

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we intend to accumulate articles that discuss novel assessment methods and interventions regarding aspects of paediatric gait and posture. Papers that qualitatively discuss the needs and experiences of neurologically and orthopaedically affected paediatric population groups will also be included. We intend to incorporate aspects ranging from (but not limited to):

1. The study of normal and pathological conditions of paediatric gait and posture.
2. Methods for the measurement of healthy, pathological gait and posture in paediatric population.
3. Interventions for management of abnormalities in paediatric gait and posture.
4. Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying paediatric gait and postural abnormalities.
5. Psychological, social, and cultural aspects associated with paediatric rehabilitation.
6. Long-term outcomes of pathological conditions of paediatric gait and posture.
7. Cost-effectiveness and dose-response analysis of treatment methods.
8. The needs and experiences of patients and caregivers undergoing paediatric rehabilitation.

This Special Issue, “Gait & Posture: Novel Assessments & Interventions in paediatric population”, is dedicated to addressing existing gaps in the field of paediatric rehabilitation. It will describe the achievements made in clinical care, education, training, and research. Case studies, research, and review articles are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Shashank Ghai
