Sports injuries
This overuse injury causes pain at the tibial tuberosity in active adolescents.
Osgood-Schlatter disease
This progressive genetic neuromuscular disease is caused by the absence of dystrophin.
Heel pain in an active growing child is commonly associated with this condition.
Sever or Sever's Disease
This sensory system helps detect body position and joint movement.
Proprioception
This pediatric cancer affects white blood cells and bone marrow.
leukemia
This shoulder condition is common in competitive swimmers due to repetitive overhead motion.
Swimmer's Shoulder
Children with this condition have brittle bones and frequent fractures.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
This newborn diagnosis may require positioning and gentle ROM during therapy, but forceful stretching of the involved arm should be avoided early on to prevent further nerve injury
brachial plexus injury
erbs palsy
klumpke's palsy
A child who constantly seeks movement input may benefit from activities targeting this sensory system.
Vestibular system
A low platelet count places the patient at increased risk for this complication.
bleeding
A patient with this ligament injury may report hearing a “pop” during a cutting sport.
ACL tear
This acute hip condition commonly occurs in overweight adolescents and requires urgent referral.
SCFE
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
This genetic disorder causes degeneration of anterior horn cells leading to progressive weakness.
SMA
A child who becomes distressed by clothing textures, messy play, or light touch may demonstrate this sensory integration disorder, often treated using graded sensory exposure.
tactile defensiveness
Fatigue, nausea, and decreased endurance are common symptoms during this treatment.
chemotherapy
This fracture classification involves the growth plate in pediatric patients.
Salter Harris Fractures
This bacterial joint infection is considered a medical emergency in pediatrics.
Septic Arthritis
This condition is commonly treated with tummy time, cervical stretching, repositioning techniques, and encouraging the infant to turn toward the non-preferred side.
torticollis
A child covering their ears during loud noises may demonstrate this sensory response pattern.
auditory defensiveness
sensory defensiveness
These types of pediatric cancers presents very similar symptoms as stroke or TBI
Brain tumors
Following MPFL repair, this movement is often limited early in rehab to protect healing tissue.
knee flexion
This condition causes progressive bowing of the legs due to abnormal tibial growth.
Blount or Blount's Disease
During treatment of this pediatric hip disorder, high-impact activities and excessive weight bearing may be limited to reduce stress on the femoral head.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease?
This motor-planning disorder affects a child’s ability to perform purposeful movements or speech tasks despite normal muscle strength. Repetition, cueing, and task-specific practice are common interventions.
apraxia
What is one long term consequence of pediatric cancer treatment in patients that are now young adults
