Review
Cerebral palsy (CP) encompasses a group of disorders pertaining to abnormalities in movement, tone, and/or posture due to a nonprogressive lesion to an immature brain. Hip dysplasia is the second most common orthopedic deformity seen in CP, and its severity can range from a hip at risk for subluxation to full hip dislocation with degenerative changes. The purpose of this article is to review the hip pathologies that occur in CP focusing on their pathogenesis, physical exam findings, impact on function, and conservative treatment. Through a review of the medical literature, it is demonstrated that early, aggressive, and comprehensive care led by a pediatric physiatrist is essential to mitigate progression to complete hip dislocation and preserve range of motion, prevent contracture, and promote maximum functional ability in all children with CP.

Review
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a highly prevalent condition which is underdiagnosed and poorly understood. The purpose of this review is to outline the various aspects of the nature of CPP, including its etiologies, clinical presentation, and nonoperative treatment options. For data collection, a PubMed search was conducted using indexing terms such as chronic pelvic pain and pelvic pain. Literature reviews and studies focusing on etiologies, clinical presentation, and/or the diagnosis of CPP were compiled for review by a team of 3 physiatrists. Studies investigating conservative treatments, medications, and interventional procedures for CPP and related conditions with comparable etiologies were also included. Of the 502 articles retrieved, 116 were deemed suitable by the team for this study. Although CPP is a complex, multifaceted condition, a particular susceptibility to nociceptive stimuli was demonstrated as an underlying theme in its evolution. There are many treatment options currently used; however, more robust evidence, such as randomized controlled trials, are needed before creating comprehensive guidelines for treating CPP.

Review
Pilot and feasibility studies are conducted early in the clinical research pathway to evaluate whether a future, definitive study can or should be done and, if so, how. Poor planning and reporting of pilot and feasibility studies can compromise subsequent research efforts. Inappropriate labeling of studies as pilots also compromises education. In this review, first, a systematic survey of the current state of pilot and feasibility studies in rehabilitation research was performed, and second, recommendations were made for improvements to their design and reporting. In a random sample of 100 studies, half (49.5%) were randomized trials. Thirty (30.0%) and three (3.0%) studies used "pilot" and "feasibility" in the study title, respectively. Only one third (34.0%) of studies provided a primary objective related to feasibility. Most studies (92.0%) stated an intent for hypothesis testing. Although many studies (70.0%) mentioned outcomes related to feasibility in the methods, a third (30.0%) reported additional outcomes in the results and discussion only or commented on feasibility anecdotally. The reporting of progression plans to a main study (21.0%) and progression criteria (4.0%) was infrequent. Based on these findings, it is recommended that researchers correctly label studies as a pilot or feasibility design based on accepted definitions, explicitly state feasibility objectives, outcomes, and criteria for determining success of feasibility, justify the sample size, and appropriately interpret and report the implications of feasibility findings for the main future study.

Review
Physiatrists are sensitive to the importance of using a diagnostic test as an extension of the clinical examination. Training in electrodiagnostic testing provides an excellent base to learn about integrating ultrasound into one's practice. Given their education in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders and injuries, with an emphasis on quality of life and functional gains, ultrasound can help physiatrists design the most efficacious and accurate treatment plan. This ultimately provides for adequate patient access and improved outcomes.
