  • Practice-informed barriers and contextual solutions in neonatal habilitation across Indian Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A qualitative exploration of therapists’ perspectives
    Abishek J. R., Vadivelan Kanniappan
    BMC Pediatrics, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Preterm infants are at high risk for neurodevelopmental delays, and hence habilitation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in a timely manner is a priority. In India, however, standardized habilitation pathways are underdeveloped, and the role of neonatal therapists, particularly physiotherapists is discrepant and ill-defined. There is scarce literature from the ground-level perception of therapists on providing structured development care, especially in resource-limited NICU settings. This study aims to explore therapist-informed barriers and context-specific solutions affecting the provision of habilitation services for preterm infants in Indian NICUs. METHODS: This qualitative study follows a constructivist paradigm. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 NICU physiotherapists from diverse backgrounds across India. Thematic analysis was performed with Braun and Clarke's six-phase reflexive framework. Codes were inductively established and themes iteratively refined. RESULTS: The two overall themes were: (1) Practice-Informed Barriers, including fractured professional identity, institutional bounds, poor training, and maternal disempowerment; and (2) Therapist-Driven Solutions, consisting of mother-inclusive graduated engagement, culture-congruent approaches, streamlined gestational protocols, and urgent appeals for curriculum and policy change. The therapists portrayed the necessity for habilitation practices to be salient, collaborative, and consistent with Indian contextual realities. CONCLUSION: Despite systemic constraints, Indian NICU physiotherapists reflect adaptive, culturally appropriate approaches to facilitate early habilitation. Overcoming structural barriers and institutionalization of therapist roles in interdisciplinary NICU teams are essential steps toward equitable and developmentally beneficial care for preterm infants. These findings provide a foundational input into the development of India-specific early stimulation protocols based on practice realities. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial has been registered under Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI/2025/02/081483) on February 28 2025.
  • Neurodevelopmental outcomes and predictors among late preterm infants: a 6-month prospective cohort study
    Shrisruthi Suresh, Vadivelan Kanniappan, Sushmitha Kannairam
    BMC Pediatrics, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Late preterm infants (33-36 weeks gestation) are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental delays, but early signs often go unrecognized due to subtle presentations and inconsistent follow-up. While screening tools are available, few studies have examined how well parents identify developmental concerns compared to trained professionals. AIM: To evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes in late preterm infants at 3 and 6 months of corrected age by comparing parental and therapist-reported developmental scores, and to identify predictors influencing developmental scores. METHODS: Sixty late preterm infants were screened using the Trivandrum Developmental Screening Tool (TDST) at discharge and followed up at 3 and 6 months of corrected age. Both therapists and parents completed the TDST independently during follow-up. Developmental scores were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors that influence parent and therapist scoring. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: At 3 months there is no significant difference between the parent and therapist TDST overall scores, while at 6 months, therapist and parent TDST overall scores showed significant difference (p < 0.001). Regression analysis identified rolling and object transfer as strong predictors of overall scores for both parent and therapist scores at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar overall scores at 3 months, significant discrepancies between parent and therapist scoring emerged by 6 months. These findings emphasise the importance of caregiver education in early neurodevelopmental surveillance.
  • Parental perceptions of preschooler screen time and physical activity in Chennai
    Nandhini S, Abishek J R, Vadivelan Kanniappan, Shrisruthi S
    BMC Public Health, 2025
    BACKGROUND: In India, preschoolers surpass the proposed one hour of screen time (ST) a day, whereas physical activity (PA) is on the decline and is contributing to childhood obesity. Sensitive periods of psychosocial, cognitive, and neurological development occur during early childhood and are affected by ST and PA. Parenting practices are important, but parental views and practices are not well researched in urban areas like Chennai. METHODS: Phenomenological qualitative research with purposive sampling was undertaken to discuss parents' perceptions of ST and PA in preschool children. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were carried out with 11 mothers of preschool children. Transcripts were coded and thematically analysed. RESULTS: Two main themes were revealed: parental perceptions on ST and parental perceptions on PA. Parents acknowledged the dangers of overuse of ST, such as bad behaviour, lower attention span, and disturbed sleep. Screens were frequently employed to regulate tantrums, keep children occupied during domestic chores, or as a didactic aid. Control measures involved observing, setting time, parent locks, and substitutive activities, albeit with inconsistent enforcement. Parents saw PA as imperative to health, socialisation, and emotional regulation, with children playing games, cycling, and playing out-of-doors. Barriers involved safety, restricted play areas, weather, and other competing demands. Family engagement and mutual play were emphasized as efficient strategies. CONCLUSION: Parents acknowledged the danger of ST and utility of PA, but they need assistance and coordinated guidance to apply efficient strategies. Community programs and educational interventions are crucial to advance balanced digital and active lifestyles among preschoolers.

    Archives of Public Health, 2025
    Background In India, approximately 3.5 million children are affected by Developmental Delay (DD), often stemming from preterm births. These delays contribute to neurological and motor development delays, placing a significant financial burden on families. Maternal unemployment rates are also elevated in such cases. Delayed Developmental Milestones identification, often due to a lack of parental awareness, further compounds these challenges. This study introduces a multiphasic approach aimed at educating antenatal women on monitoring neurological maturation, with the overarching objective of assessing the effectiveness of a targeted multi-method parental education intervention in improving parents’ knowledge and early detection of developmental disorders in early childhood. Methods Antenatal women will be assigned to intervention or control groups. The intervention group will undergo specialized training in a multiphasic study, while the control group will receive routine care. A meticulously developed intervention module for early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders will empower mothers to monitor their newborns for potential deficits. Outcomes will be assessed through questionnaires, analyzing knowledge improvement and early identification of DD using statistical methods such as chi-square tests. The study involves three phases: preparatory, implementation, and evaluation, aiming to empower mothers to detect developmental concerns early and improve maternal awareness of child development. The study was approved by the SRM Institutional Ethical Committee with the reference number 8688/IEC/2023. Discussion This study will identify DD and improve parental awareness by providing tools for early detection thereby empowers parents to identify developmental concerns early. The study supports policy goals to reduce the burden of DD, enhance early intervention, and improve long-term outcomes for children. It is anticipated that this intervention will complement existing health policies, contributing to better child health and developmental outcomes in India. Trial registration Trail is registered under Clinical Trails Registry - India (CTRI/2024/04/065008) registered on 01 April 2024.

    Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2025
    Diarrhoeal diseases remain a significant public health concern globally, particularly among under-five children. Understanding the factors influencing diarrhoea prevalence and treatment practices is crucial for improving child health outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to assess the burden, determinants, and management practices of diarrhoeal diseases among under-five children in India. We conducted a secondary data analysis of NFHS-5, covering 707 districts across India. The survey employed a stratified two-stage sampling method, and analysis included 186 920 under-five children. Poisson regression was utilized for identifying determinants of diarrhoeal burden and health-seeking behaviour and reported as adjusted prevalence ratio with 95% confidence interval. Prevalence of diarrhoea in under-five children has decreased from 9.5% in 2015–16 to the current estimate of 7.5% in 2019–21. Health seeking behaviour for diarrhoea has changed from 76.2% in 2015–16 to 76.8% in 2019–21. Age, gender, birth weight, malnutrition, maternal age, and education level were significantly associated with diarrhoea prevalence. Geographical region and wealth index influenced health-seeking behaviour towards diarrhoeal illness. The study shows a marginal decline in the diarrhoeal prevalence among children under-five years in India. Key determinants identified highlight the critical areas where targeted interventions are urgently needed.
  • A Systematic Review of Neurodevelopmental Tools for Preterm Infants during Infancy: Mapping the Components Across Infant Age Quarters

    With an increasing rate of preterm birth (PTB) and survival rates, PTB-related impairments have become a critical concern that requires early screening and intervention. Though there are multiple neurodevelopmental tools available, their complexity in administration, limits their usage. This research intends to systematic review the available neurodevelopmental assessment tools to map their components in relevant domains in each age quarter of a preterm infant’s life to give a quick reference guide for clinical practice in India. A systematic review was undertaken using key keywords linked to preterm newborns and neurodevelopmental assessment in PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and gray literature published from 2000 to 2023. The initial search identified 30 neurodevelopmental tools, but only 10 were included in the analysis due to accessibility constraints. The first quarter concentrated on a great deal on primitive reflexes, which might serve as early warnings of a red flag. Although these tools are used in research, most lack extensive psychometric evaluations specific to preterm populations, raising concern validity and geographical sensitivity, especially in India. There is critical need to establish the psychometrics of the identified tools in preterm population. The components plotted over infant age quarters may be used by health care professionals for a quick reference. Inaccessibility of tools being the major hinderance in pediatric evaluation, these charted components may serve a practical reference frame work for establishing a comprehensive tool that might require less or minimal training suitable for low- and middle-income countries like India.

    The smart capsule bubble tile (SCBT) is an innovative flooring solution that combines acupressure-based reflexology with electromagnetic wave stimulation to enhance well-being. Designed for smart buildings and healthcare applications, SCBT integrates traditional construction techniques with advanced healing technologies to create a health-conscious, eco-friendly flooring system. For durability and thermal performance, SCBT tiles are manufactured using conventional concrete methods, enhanced with aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Each tile contains multiple pressure point capsules featuring a copper cap that emits electromagnetic waves when exposed to sunlight. This dual-function mechanism stimulates acupressure points on the feet, promoting better blood circulation, reducing stress, and enhancing relaxation. The heat release from the copper caps further improves thermal comfort and energy flow in the body, reinforcing the benefits of reflexology. The performance of SCBT tiles was extensively tested, demonstrating impressive physical and functional properties. They exhibit a flexural strength of 4.6 N/mm2, a thermal emissivity of 0.878, a solar reflectance of 0.842, and a water absorption rate of 8.12%. In biomechanical assessments, SCBT showed significant benefits for balance and posture correction. Users experienced a 70.8% reduction in lateral stance ellipse area with eyes open and a 50.5% reduction with eyes closed, indicating improved stability and proprioception. By integrating acupressure and electromagnetic stimulation into flooring design, SCBT promotes a holistic approach to health. This technology supports energy efficiency in smart buildings and contributes to preventive healthcare by enhancing musculoskeletal health and reducing fatigue. SCBT represents a significant step in creating built environments supporting human well-being, merging traditional healing principles with modern material science.

    Journal of Health Population and Nutrition, 2024
    Background Approximately 1 in 8 children under the age of 6 in Tamil Nadu are diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), yet only a fraction of these children receives proper medical care. The unequal distribution of healthcare services is mainly due to the lack of accessibility, especially in rural areas, leading to a significant burden on caregivers. This research aims to alleviate caregiver burden and reduce disability in preschool children by establishing model clinics or specialized outreach centers in rural villages, supported by SRM Institute of Science and Technology under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Scheme.(UBA-SRMIST). Methods The study will commence with screening all preschool children registered in Anganwadi in the designated villages. Tailored model clinics will be set up in these villages based on the prevalence of NDD. Once established, children diagnosed with NDD will undergo rehabilitation for a year. Baseline and endline assessments will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the model center on both the child's disability and the caregiver burden. Discussion This research will demonstrate the effectiveness of a model outreach center in rural villages in reducing disability levels in children and alleviating caregiver burden by eliminating the need for long travels to access rehabilitation services. The findings of this study will not only contribute to the objectives of UBA-SRMIST in uplifting villages but also facilitate the creation of registries and provision of data to the government for the implementation of policies that address the current disparities in healthcare access. Trial registration Trail has been registered under Clinical Trials Registry—India (CTRI/2024/06/069196).

    Postural stability helps maintain the position of the body within the support area to maintain control, but this postural stability is affected in children with cerebral palsy during static or dynamic activities. However, the practical application of postural stability exercises combined with muscle strengthening has not been studied in spastic diplegia cerebral palsy children with gait difficulties. Purpose: To study the effect of postural stability exercises on the gait and posture of children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Materials &amp; Methods. 23 subjects with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy within the age group of 8 to 15 years, both male and female were randomly allocated into two groups Group A (Experimental) n=12 and Group B (Control) n=11, voluntarily participated and EVGS and DGI were used to assess the posture, gait, and functional capacity as outcome measures. Pre-test and post-test values were used for the interpretation of data. Results: The mean difference of 3.25 with a t-value of 8.74 at a significance of 0.000 (p&lt;0.005) was calculated which shows a statistically significant difference between the pre and post-values of Group A and the mean difference of 1.63 with a t-value of 8.05 at a significance of 0.000 was calculated, which is statistically significant. Conclusion: Combined effect of postural stability exercises along with muscle strengthening exercises have a significant effect on the gait functions in children with spastic diplegia CP of GMFCS level II and III.

    Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2024
    Objectives: Children with disabilities may exhibit a multitude of symptoms, and treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach for a satisfactory outcome. Lack of awareness among physicians, lack of referral, and lack of inter-sectoral coordination have hindered paediatric practice in Tamil Nadu, a state in India with a striking childhood disability rate that warrants a timely interdisciplinary approach. However, the perspectives of paediatricians on paediatric physiotherapy are unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the perspectives of practicing paediatric physicians in Chennai on the role of physiotherapy in paediatrics.Methods: For an in-depth exploration, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted in person with 10 paediatricians. Audio from the sessions was recorded and transcribed, and data saturation was achieved through iterative analysis.Results: A grounded theory analysis of the results yielded 5 domains under which the perspectives and expectations of the physicians were described, along with the barriers experienced by patients’ parents as explained by their paediatrician. The responses highlighted deficits in awareness, structural support, accessibility and direct communication between physicians and physiotherapists.Conclusions: Paediatric physicians have different opinions, and some ignorance persists concerning paediatric physiotherapy. This study warrants a proper structure of the paediatric rehabilitation unit and regular interdisciplinary meetings and focus group discussions to increase access for parents and improve patient outcomes.
