• Early initiation of motor-focused interventions for high-risk infants and children with cerebral palsy appears to influence developmental trajectories, with randomized trials and developmental-therapy reviews highlighting timing, dosing, and family coordination as critical factors in minimizing disability [2], [11], [1], [20].

• Movement science in physical therapy around pathokinesiology emphasizes observing, classifying, and describing motor phenomena to guide diagnosis and therapy, contrasting with traditional neuromotor perspectives and supporting theory-rich approaches to clinical practice [3], [7], [13], [9].

• Neurorehabilitation after stroke or brain injury aggregates multivariate assessments of motor and perceptual impairment and links early trunk control to functional outcomes, informing targeted therapy and ADL recovery strategies [5], [19], [16], [13].

• Occupational therapy models and practice approaches are framed around holistic function and disability models, with comprehensive books and reviews promoting practice standards, measurement, and integration into neurorehabilitation [4], [12], [17].

• Clinical reasoning processes, development of clinical PT research programs, and standardized measurement tools anchor evidence-based practice, highlighting outcome measures, norms, and professional development in rehabilitation [14], [15], [6], [10].
