Abstract:

Independent mobility of children living in the barrack is declining over the last four decades due to its unfriendly environment. There are limited studies on children-environment relationships in Nigeria, especially in the barrack. Available studies from social sciences and public health studies lack policy connection with the child-friendly environment for improved independent mobility. Hence, this study aimed to develop a child-friendly barrack environment policy framework for enhanced independent movement of children.

Abstract:

Children’s mobility environment is an ignored topic in discussions of sustainable urbanisation in the Global South. This study explores the independent mobility of children from ages 7 to 15 in Dhaka—reportedly the world’s densest urban conglomeration. Surveys and interviews of children ( n = 308) and their parents were conducted in eight schools in Dhaka, located in three strategically selected residential areas. Children’s independent mobility (CIM) was then analysed with reference to relevant themes across social profiles of children. The results depict the current state of CIM in Dhaka: 59

Abstract:

Environmental changes significantly impact health behavior. Active travel behavior is mostly affected by increasing motorization, urban sprawl, and traffic safety. Especially for children, active and independent travel can contribute to physical activity, social and motor development, and other health-related outcomes. A reduced number of children engaging in independent mobility over the last 20 years demanded researchers to further examine the construct of children’s independent mobility.

Abstract:

A child’s independent mobility is essential to their social, emotional physical, and cognitive development and provides children the opportunity to explore and experience their environment. The freedom of free movement and security from all forms of harm is necessary for achieving the capability of bodily integrity which is one of the essential capabilities necessary for well-being. Despite this, research on child independent mobility in Africa remains limited.

First, we map IM across 27 countries and more than 2800 regions, documenting wide cross‐country and especially within‐country heterogeneity. Inertia looms large as differences in the literacy of the old generation explain about half of the observed spatial disparities in IM. The rural‐urban divide is substantial. Though conspicuous in some countries, there is no evidence of systematic gender gaps in IM. Second, we characterize the geography of IM, finding that colonial investmen

Most visually impaired children receive their orientation and mobility instruction on an itinerant basis. Because of the distances their instructor must travel, many of these children receive instruction only once or twice a week and are cheated out of the consistent instruction they require. This article explores alternative ways of scheduling these students so they can receive the amount of consistent and high-quality instruction they need to become safe independent travelers.

Abstract:

This study investigates parents’ perceived safety on neighborhood bonds and built-environment factors in letting their children roam outside unaccompanied using a qualitative lens. Based on interviews with parents in the Jakarta Greater Area, the research reveals that strong community cohesion and a perceived safe built-environment significantly enhance parents' sense of safety, thereby promoting children’s independent mobility. Conversely, neighborhoods with weaker neighborhood cohesion adding unmaintained built-environments such as and lack of playing field and pedestrian infrastructure heig

Abstract:

The paradigm of comprehensive treatment approaches for children with cerebral palsy has gained traction, prompting clinicians to deliberate between independent and integrated treatment delivery. However, this decision-making process is often hindered by the dearth of empirical evidence available to inform optimal therapeutic strategies. This study, therefore, sought to compare the effects of Pilates-based core strengthening (PsCS), plyometric-based muscle loading (PlyoML), and their combination on postural control, balance, and mobility in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (ULCP).

Abstract:

Background: Young children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) have limited independent mobility and participation that may lead to cognitive development delays. Implementing early powered mobility in interventions may help them to learn self-initiated movement, play, and having fun to participate in natural settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an early power mobility intervention for increasing participation, functional ability, and quality of life in young children with SMA1. Methods: AMEsobreRuedas is a randomized waiting list controlled clinical trial.

Abstract:

This article reconsiders children’s mobilities through the relationship between care and control in the context of Russia’s disability orphanages. Drawing upon the lens of carceral mobilities, the article challenges the dominant conceptualisations of children’s mobilities as ‘independent’ or necessarily intertwined with notions of ‘wellbeing’. Instead this piece draws upon ethnographic research into the Russian disability orphanage system to present three typologies of multi-scalar carceral mobilities which children experience in this context; firstly as a form of spatial segregation and conta

Abstract:

Abstract Sense of coherence (SOC) reflects the coping capacity to deal with everyday life stressors and consists of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. Meaningfulness is the motivational component and sometimes considered the most important part in SOC. Meaningfulness is about the extent to which a person feels that life has an emotional meaning. Meaningfulness is important in aging since many old people suffer from health problems and meaningfulness is important for coping. We examine which factors that are important for the feeling of meaningfulness in a nationally represent

Abstract:

Background: Understanding the determinants of children’s outdoor play is an important element for child development and broader public health outcomes. There is growing evidence that children’s opportunities for play, particularly outdoor risky play, are diminishing. Parents are concerned with keeping their child safe while affording them independence to play. This study explored parents’ attitudes to risky play and practices around children’s independent mobility in Ireland with the aim of informing public health strategies promoting healthy childhood environments.

Abstract:

Surveillance of children and young people in non-Western contexts has received little attention in the literature. In this paper we draw principally on our research in one African country, Malawi, to examine the ways in which their independent travel is shaped by (usually adult-directed) surveillance and control in diverse urban and rural contexts. Surveillance is interpreted very broadly, because our empirical data indicates a range of practices whereby a close watch is kept over children as they move around their community and travel out to other locations. In some cases we suggest that surv

Abstract:

Background/Aims Children and young people with acquired brain injuries take part in less physical activity than age-matched peers. A possible cause of this is reduced high level motor proficiency. This study aimed to determine whether children and young people who regain independent mobility following a severe acquired brain injury continue to experience high-level physical difficulties. Methods A retrospective review of routinely collected Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency 2 assessments was performed.
