ObjectiveTo study domestic and international policies and core areas related to assistive technology services for children with disabilities, to explore the application of assistive technology for children with special needs in the educational context. MethodsBased on the relevant policies and theoretical frameworks of policies on assistive technology services of United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO) and China, the policy frameworks and core areas of assistive technology in the educational context were analyzed using the theories of the six elements of the WHO assistive technology service system and the 5P service model, as well as the international and domestic classifications and directory lists of assistive technologies. ResultsInternational Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) gave the definition and classification of assistive technology in educational scenarios. With the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as the core and the Assistive Technology for Children with Disabilities (ATD) strategy as the centerpiece of the international policy, the core areas of assistive technology application in educational settings were established with the 5P Model, consisting of five related areas, namely individuals, policies, products, practitioners and service delivery, based on the six elements of the WHO assistive technology service system, namely leadership and governance, financing, human resources for health, service delivery, medical technology and health information system. The ecosystem focused on people, policies, products, practitioners and services that promote access to and use of assistive technology. ConclusionThe policy and core areas for the application of assistive technology in educational contexts are formed on the basis of ICF, with the CRPD at the core, and the strategy of ATD, to define scientifically the definition; and promote assistive technology services for children with disabilities from the perspective of the right to comprehensive, efficient, and child-centered development, to provide usable, accessible, affordable, adaptable, acceptable and quality assistive technology services to ensure that children with disabilities enjoy equal and quality education, and to improve the quality of life and well-being. A human-centered assistive technology ecosystem can be established using 5P Model, to innovate and develop assistive technology services for children with disabilities.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2022;28(6):659-669
ObjectiveIn implementation of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and reference to the Ministry of Education's Physical Education and Health Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition), a functioning-oriented adapted physical education curriculum system was developed for the development of children's core qualities in physical education and sport of children with intellectual disabilities. MethodsInternational Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and ICF were used to systematically analyze the motor function, activity and participation of children with intellectual disabilities. Based on the ICF bio-psycho-social model of functioning, disability and health and the Ministry of Education's Physical Education and Health Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition), and with reference to the American Adapted Physical Education National Standards (3rd Edition) (APENS-3), a functioning-oriented adapted physical education curriculum system was constructed, which was suitable for the development of motor functioning and motor competence of children with intellectual disabilities. ResultsChildren with intellectual disabilities might experience slow development of basic movements, poor fitness level, low motor competence, and insufficient motor motivation. The goals of adapted physical education curriculum were mainly to promote the development of children's core quality in physical education and sport, i.e., motor competence, health behaviors, and physical moral attributes, and to master motor skills and develop motor competence, including motor competence development goals, movement development goals, physical activity participation goals, health goals, adaptation and empowerment goals. The content of adapted physical education curriculum included physical fitness activities, motor skill activities and sport related activities. The implementation process of adapted physical education program covered materials development, and adapted physical education program teaching advices. The education program was evaluated in terms of the development of motor competence, motor development, participation in physical activities, the development of healthy behaviors, and the adaptation to the natural and social environment, using a holistic and multidimensional evaluation approach to comprehensively evaluate the motor development and the mastery of building of children's core qualities in physical education and sport. Accessible environments and assistive technology should also be considerated in the development of adapted physical education programs. ConclusionBased on the bio-psycho-social health model of ICF, the Ministry of Education's Physical Education and Health Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition), and APENS-3, the theoretical framework for the development of adapted physical education curriculum for children with intellectual disabilities was developed, and a functioning-oriented adapted physical education curriculum system was established, which emphasized the development of children's core qualities in physical education and sport, i.e., motor ability, healthy behavior, and physical moral values.

ObjectiveTo conduct a bibliometric analysis of the research status and hot spots of physical fitness for children and adolescents with intellectual disability using CiteSpace. MethodsBased on the theoretical framework of World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), literatures about physical fitness for children and adolescents with intellectual disability were searched in PubMed from 2012 to 2022. CiteSpace 6.1.R2 was used to draw knowledge mapping. ResultsA total of 670 literatures were retrieved from PubMed, and 348 literatures were included. The mean number of articles published was 31.6 per year, which presented an upward trend. The characteristics and intervention strategies of physical fitness for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome had been the hot spots of research in the past ten years. Under the guidance of the WHO-FICs framework, physical fitness involved structural and functional levels (body composition/obesity, bone health, motor development/motor skills, postural control, etc.), activity and participation levels (physical activity/sedentary behavior, quality of life, etc.), and environmental and personal factors (parental support, etc.). Intervention included physical fitness strategies (aerobic exercise, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, video games, resistance training, etc.), motor skills training strategies (adaptive physical activity, adaptive physical education, etc.), and sport event related strategies (Special Olympic soccer, etc.). ConclusionThe international attention on the physical fitness for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities has been increasing in the past decade. Researches focus on the dysfunction of physical fitness for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, such as Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder; in terms of physical structure and function including body composition and executive ability, etc., and in terms of social and participation including physical activity and quality of life, etc.. In addition, physical fitness intervention strategies, such as traditional physical fitness exercise, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, adaptive physical activity, adaptive sports and special Olympic sports are also research hotspots. Those strategies adhere to the concept of "sports for life" and are closely linked with daily life, in order to help them to improve their physical and mental health level, social participation ability, quality of life and well-being.

Objective To evaluate the effects of spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) on chronic nonspecific neck pain (CNSNP) by using World Health Organization Family International Classifications (WHO-FICs). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the effects of SMT on CNSNP were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, EBSCO, CBM and CNKI from database establishment to December 31st, 2021. At least two researchers extracted the data. Cochrane bias risk assessment tool and Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale were used to evaluate the quality of the included articles. Revman 5.4 software and Stata 16.0 software were used for meta-analyses and publication bias analysis respectively. Results A total of 15 RCTs that represented 1 067 participants were evaluated. In terms of body functions, compared with the control group, SMT significantly reduced Visual Analog Score for pain (MD = -0.85, 95%CI -1.06 to -0.63, P < 0.00001) and Numerical Rating Scale (MD = -0.92, 95%CI -1.29 to -0.55, P < 0.001), increased pressure pain thresholds (SMD = 0.67, 95%CI 0.47 to 0.86, P < 0.001), cervical range of motion (ROM) of flexion/extension (SMD = 0.51, 95%CI 0.33 to 0.68, P < 0.001) and rotation (SMD = 0.20, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.38, P = 0.04), improved root mean square of cervical muscles electromygraphy (MD = 2.17, 95%CI 0.06 to 4.29, P = 0.04), but not significantly in cervical ROM of lateral flexion (SMD = 0.19, 95%CI -0.00 to 0.38, P = 0.06), cervical strength (SMD = -0.18, 95%CI -0.84 to 0.49, P = 0.60) and endurance (SMD = 0.18, 95%CI -0.39 to 0.75, P = 0.53). In term of activities and participation, SMT significantly improved cervical disability (MD = -0.96, 95%CI -1.55 to -0.38, P = 0.001), but not significantly in health status of patients with CNSNP (SMD = 0.08, 95%CI -0.03 to 0.20, P = 0.15). Conclusion SMT could improve pain intensity, pain sensitivity, cervical ROM and disability in patients with CNSNP, but its efficacy on muscle function, proprioception and health status is unclear.
