Objective To analyze the content and psychological measurement indicators of the commonly used motor function assessment tools for children and adolescents, based on the theory and method of International Classification of Function, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY). Methods Based on the ICF-CY classification framework and coding system, four commonly used functional evaluation tools for children and adolescents were selected, and their motor function measurement methods and psychological measurement indicators were analyzed by applying ICF coding rules and matching principles. Results Finally, nine English articles and two Chinese articles were included, from four countries including South Korea, Spain, China and Brazil. They were mainly published in the journals of clinical medicine, neuroscience, public health, rehabilitation science and other fields from 2011 to 2021. The age of the subjects was 0 to 16 years old involving 987 subjects; the health condition included spastic cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental disorder, etc. Among the eleven articles included, six articles used Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), two articles used Fine Motor Function Measure Scale (FMFM), two articles used Peabody Developmental Motor Scales Second Edition (PDMS-2), and two articles used Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Functional Skills Scale (PEDI-FSS), and three articles used Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). The measurement methods were objective evaluation, subjective evaluation, and subjective observation, etc. The number of measurements was two to six. The measurement indicators of motor function mainly involved two levels. The first was the physical activity level, including gross movement, fine movement and motor control ability. The second was the functional level of activities, mainly including activities of daily living and functional independence. Conclusion Based on ICF-CY, the evaluation of children's motor function and activity and participation was mainly divided into two levels. At the body function level, the main evaluation indicators included b730, b760, b770, etc. At the level of activities and participation, the main evaluation indicators were d410, d440, d445, etc. GMFM-88 focuses on the evaluation of children's body movement and activity functions, such as sitting, standing, lying, walking and running, mainly involving b760, d410, d455, etc. FMFM focused on autonomous movement, motor motivation and motor coordination, and was mainly used to assess the functional status of upper limbs of children with cerebral palsy aged 0 to 3 years, mainly involving b760, d155, d440, etc. PDMS-2 payed more attention to evaluating the overall motor development level and motor function status of children and adolescents, mainly involving b750, b760, d415, etc. PEDI-FSS move partition focused on children's actual motor function performance in activities of daily living, and evaluated the application and practicability of children's motor function in activities of daily living, mainly involving b760, d410, d450, etc. In terms of measurement methods, the measurement of motor function mainly included objective evaluation and subjective evaluation; the measurement of activity function mainly included objective evaluation and subjective observation. These assessment tools have established norms varies with different age groups according to the movement development. Evaluators need accept professional training before using the above assessment tools to improve the reliability, validity and adaptability of the assessment.

Objective To explore the psychological and behavioral characteristics of understanding Chinese garden path sentences in children with high-functioning autism (HFA). Methods From April to August, 2019, 35 children with HFA and 35 age-matched typically developing (TD) children were recruited by social recruitment method in the Key Laboratory of Speech and Hearing of East China Normal University in Shanghai. The Garden Path Sentence Comprehension Test was designed based on the psycholinguistic method, and the mental process and the ability of understanding garden path sentences were tested by the agent task experiment paradigm. Finally, the processing strategies and error types of Chinese spoken garden path sentences for HFA children were explored. Results The score in understanding garden path sentences was lower (t = -2.941, P < 0.01), and the reaction time in processing garden path sentences was significantly longer (t = 6.132, P < 0.001) in HFA children than in TD children, however, there was no significant difference in the number of childern mastering garden path sentences between two groups (χ2 = 2.954, P > 0.05). In terms of the error types of "animate noun + verb + animate noun + 's + noun" (AVA) and "animate noun + verb + inanimate noun + 's + noun" (AVI) garden path sentences, both groups showed more errors in "pursuit of correct word order" than in "pursuit of semantically correct" (t > 2.503, P < 0.05). In "inanimate noun + verb + animate noun + 's + noun" (IVA) sentences, HFA children showed less erros in "pursuit of correct word order" than in "pursuit of semantically correct" (t = -6.523, P < 0.001), however, no difference was found between them in TD children (t = 2.024, P > 0.05). Conclusion The processing and comprehension ability of Chinese spoken garden path sentences in HFA children aged five to seven yeas are poor. HFA children are more sensitive to semantics, and garden path sentences with semantic violations are more likely to lead to HFA children's understanding errors. In the garden path sentence patterns of AVA and AVI, HFA children appear similar sentence understanding and processing strategies as TD children. In the garden path of IVA, HFA children use a sentence processing strategy combining word order and semantics, but semantics play a more prominent role, while TD children use a more stable word order processing strategy.

Objective To develop a systematic review of physical activity benefits for children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the PICO framework based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and to explore the health benefits of physical activity for children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Methods A systematic analysis of health and functional status, physical activity interventions, and physical activity benefits in children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities was conducted using ICF. Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Scienc, and CNKI were searched to collect published randomized controlled trials on health and functional outcomes of physical activity participation in children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities from establishment to November, 2022 for a systematic review.

Results Ten randomized controlled trials from five countries were finally included, involving 289 participants (five to 18 years old). The literatures were mainly from the fields of cognitive neuroscience, intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical activity and exercise rehabilitation, and were published mainly after 2013. The quality of the included literatures was evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale with a mean score of 7.6. Health-related conditions in children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities included Down syndrome, dyskinetic cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, fragile X syndrome, and patients with mild and moderate intellectual and developmental disabilities. Physical activity interventions for children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities were focused on schools, rehabilitation centers, gymnasiums, laboratories, and research institutions and were usually in the form of motor rehabilitation, physical activity and physical education programs. The physical fitness focused on vestibular stimulation training, inversion exercises and core muscle training; the sports events included soccer training, bicycle riding, etc. The frequency of physical activity was one to seven times per week, with moderate intensity and a duration of four weeks to 1.5 years. The health benefits of physical activity were divided into three levels. At the physical function level, physical activity could significantly improve the muscle strength and endurance, aerobic capacity, lower limb motor stability and balance, promote perceptual-motor coordination, reduce psychomotor error rates, and improve perceptual-motor function and overall motor execution. At the activity and behavioral health level, physical activity could significantly improve the concentration time in movement, improve single-leg stance time and core strength in the lumbar and abdominal areas to improve postural control and mobility, involving performance levels in activities such as lying and rolling, sitting, kneeling, standing, walking, running and jumping. At the quality of life and well-being level, physical activity intervention could increase their fun experiences and activity participation time, etc.

Conclusion The health conditions of children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities are mainly involved in Down syndrome, dyskinetic cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and fragile X chromosome. The physical activity intervention program is characterized by a predominantly physical activity program oriented and skill oriented. The health and functional benefits of physical activity participation in children and adolescents are mainly characterized by improved neuromusculoskeletal and motor-related functions, enhanced activity and participation levels, reduced sedentary behavior, increased participation in daily activities, and improved quality of life and well-being.

Objective To conduct a content analysis of the policy framework, core contents and priority areas of rehabilitation of physical activity and exercise in health service (RPAEHS) using World Health Organization (WHO) theory of six building blocks of health service, and to explore the policy framework, action strategies and implementation methods of RPAEHS at macro, meso and micro levels.

Methods Based on WHO Rehabilitation in Health Systems and Rehabilitation in Health Systems: A Guide to Action, together with their accompanying use tools and other policy documents, a content analysis approach was applied to explore the policy framework as well as action strategies, core contents and priority development areas of RPAEHS.

Results RPAEHS is an integral part of modern rehabilitation, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) theory of functioning, disability, and health, and the concept of person-centeredness, with measures to meet the needs of RPAEHS, integrated into the health service continuum, and contributing to the sustainable development goal of universal health coverage. The development of RPAEHS involves six major areas: leadership and governance, financing, human resources, service delivery, rehabilitation sports equipment/technology/facilities, and RPAEHS monitoring and evaluation, and information systems. In the area of RPAEHS regulations, policies and governance, the state formulate laws and regulations, policy documents, and action guidelines for the development of RPAEHS to enhance government leadership and governance; broaden the funding channels for RPAEHS and optimize the funding allocation programs; improve the RPAEHS personnel training system, match RPAEHS professionals to the three levels of health and health services, and ensure that people with functioning who have RPAEHS needs can access the different levels of the health system; improve the utilization and accessibility of assistive technologies and products; and establish a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for services and health information system with big data to provide a scientific research base and data support for evidence-based related research.

Conclusion RPAEHS is a series of health-related measures that use physical activity and exercise as the fundamental means to address the physical function and structure, activity and participation, and environmental and personal factors of people with functioning. RPAEHS interventions involve prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and health promotion, with the ultimate goal of promoting maximum functioning, quality of life, and well-being for people with functioning. The development of RPAEHS needs to approach from six health service components: leadership and governance, financing, human resources, service delivery, equipment/technology/facilities, and health monitoring evaluation and information systems. The policy framework, priority areas, and their core components for rehabilitation sport are constructed at three levels: macro-level policy and governance framework, meso-level action strategies and implementation, and micro-level implementation practices and monitoring and evaluation. The priority areas of RPAEHS and their core contents are mainly involved in the fields: strengthening the leadership and governance, planning and coordination capacity of RPAEHS; constructing an appropriate RPAEHS funding mechanism; developing RPAEHS human resources; improving the coverage, accessibility, effectiveness and service quality of RPAEHS; developing RPAEHS assistive technologies and products; establishing RPAEHS monitoring and evaluation and information systems, and conducting related research.

Objective To evaluate the effect of physical activity on children and adolescents with disabilities using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and systematically review the systematic reviews.

Methods The systematic reviews of participation of children and adolescents with disabilities in physical activity and their health benefits were searched from databases of Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP, from the establishment of the database to October, 2022, and a systematic review was conducted.

Results Nine systematic reviews were included, from six countries, with 138 randomized controlled trials and 4 878 participants (three to 18 years). The main sources were journals in rehabilitation psychology, medicine, and sports psychology, etc., published between 2015 and 2022. The main health-related conditions were Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, motor coordination disorder, tetraplegia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and depression, mood disorders, vestibular impairment, and sensorineural hearing loss. Beneficial physical activity modalities included aerobic exercise, core strengthening, progressive resistance training, high intensity interval training, attentional motor training, gait and balance training, vestibular specific neuromuscular training, perceptual motor training, swimming, soccer, tennis, gymnastics, and dance, etc.; recommended as five to 120 minutes a time, one to 80 times a week, moderate to high intensity, for one to 139 weeks. The scenarios were mainly exercise training, and the settings were in special education schools and the community. Health benefits included improving health condition, such as reducing symptoms of disabilities (physical disability, intellectual disability, hearing impairment and psychiatric disability); increasing levels of physical activity such as walking, mobility, balance, dexterity, postural control; promote mental health, such as relieving depression, anxiety and stress; improving quality of life and well-being, such as socialization, self-worth, self-efficacy, exercise habits and happiness.

Conclusion A conceptual framework of the health effects of physical activity on the children and adolescents with disabilities had been constructed using ICF. The health-related conditions of children and adolescents with disabilities are mainly divided into four categories: intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and hearing impairments. The types of physical activities in which children and adolescents with disabilities participate include physical fitness, skills and sports programs. The health and functional benefits of participation in physical activity are reflected in three main areas: physical and mental health, activity and participation, and quality of life and well-being.

Objective To construct the mental health benefits of physical activity of Tai Chi and framework for college students based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), and to systematically review the effect of physical activity of Tai Chi on anxiety, depression and sleep quality of college students.

Methods Relevant literatures about the health outcomes on anxiety, depression and sleep quality of college students participating in physical activity of Tai Chi were retrieved from databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, Scopus, CNKI, Wanfang data, from the establishment to November 10th, 2022, and screened and reviewed.

Results Ten randomized controlled trials were included finally, from China and U.S., involving 960 participants (aged 16.4 to 40 years). The main sources were from journals about physical activity and health, with publication dates from 2016 to 2021. The quality of the included literatures was evaluated using the Physical Therapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale with a mean score of 6.3. The main mental health problems of college students mainly focused on depression, anxiety, high stress, and poor sleep quality. The physical activity of Tai Chi included 24 simplified Tai Chi and Chen style Tai Chi. The frequency of physical activity of Tai Chi was mainly 1 to 6 times a week, 45 to 90 minutes (60 minutes mostly) a time, for 4 to 18 weeks. The health benefits of Tai Chi on anxiety, depression, and sleep quality for college students in the ICF were mainly in the affective function (b152), psychomotor function (b147), energy and drive function (b130), and sleep function (b134). The beneficial outcomes of physical activity of Tai Chi involved reducing anxiety, alleviating depressive symptoms and reducing stress. Compared with physical activity of Tai Chi, physical activity of Tai Chi with the addition of a twenty-four-pattern Taijiquan theory course was more effective in improving depression levels in patients with mild and moderate depression. Tai Chi also can help to improve sleep quality, shorten the time to sleep, and reduce sleep disturbances and daytime dysfunction.

Conclusion A PICO framework of Tai Chi for the health benefits of college students has been constructed using ICF. Tai Chi engaged in by college students are mainly 24 simplified Tai Chi. The frequency of physical activity of Tai Chi is 45 to 90 minutes (60 minutes mostly) a time, 1 to 6 times a week, for 4 to 18 weeks. The physical activities of Tai Chi can benefit in reducing anxiety and depression of college students and improving the quality of sleep.
