The Research Works podcast is designed for health professionals in the area of child health, where we discuss emerging, modern, evidence based research - the behind the scenes stories, interviews with world renowned authors and researchers, material that never made the papers and a breakdown on how you can implement this into your clinical practice.

    A summary of AACPDM 2026 (Dr Dayna Pool)

    It's our final episode of our AACPDM 2026 series! All recorded live from the USA - it's been our great privilege to be a part of this year's AACPDM conference. There is much to be proud of and so much to look forward to - and Dayna takes the time to summarise our series of interviews this year. Our regular long-form interviews will re-commence soon! The ResearchWorks team are taking a well earned break for a few weeks, mainly to get over the jet-lag but we're keen to finish the year strongly with another stellar line-up of interviews with researchers from across the globe. Thank you for joining us this week and a huge shout out to all the fine folk who came by the booth and said hello - we love hearing the stories of how the pod has been able to have an impact in so many different countries and cities.  We also love hearing how research has transformed clinical practice and we're proud to play our part in making this happen. The video-casts from the conference will be uploaded to our YouTube channel soon - due to the bandwidth required, the videocasts will be released over the coming weeks.

Back to the Future: Celebrating 80 Years of Science at AACPDM and Envisioning an Even Brighter Future Diane is a recently retired tenured Senior Investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She is internationally recognized for her research which focuses muscle strengthening and on the design of device-augmented interventions to promote activity, mobility and neuroplasticity in infants and children with cerebral palsy, including a pediatric strengthening exoskeleton and a smart harness to promote infant mobility.  Diane pioneered the use of mobile brain imaging technologies to evaluate cortical activity during functional motor tasks and for neurofeedback training. She has over 175 peer-reviewed publications and was an Associate Editor of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.  Diane is a Past President of the Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society and the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) - the first physical therapist to serve in that role.  She is a co-founder of the International Alliance of the Academies of Childhood Disabilities, an international effort to support the scientific education of multidisciplinary health professionals caring for children with CP and their families. She has received multiple awards, including the 2024 Mentorship award from the  AACPDM and the 2025 Lifetime Achievement award from the Cerebral Palsy Foundation

    Dr Adam Kirton - AACPDM 2026 (Non-invasive Pediatric Brain Computer Interface in Practice)

    Dr Adam Kirton: From thought to function with non-invasive brain computer interface. What are the possibilities of turning a thought into something that is actionable? For children with CP that have significant motor impairments, access to the environment can be incredibly challenging.  Dr Kirton came onto the pod to talk about his education session and free paper titled "Achievement of Personalized, Previously Impossible Goals by Children with Severe Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy Using Brain-Computer Interface." Join us as we explore this novel intervention, understand how it works and what the possibilities are right now.
