Given the variety of therapeutic strategies currently available, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different gait training approaches on gross motor function and endurance in children with cerebral palsy through the analysis of the main scientific evidence available. This study is a literature review conducted using the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database databases. Studies published between 2021 and 2026 with a Physiotherapy Evidence Database score of six or higher that investigated gait training interventions in children with cerebral palsy were included. The initial search identified 4,645 studies, of which eight met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings demonstrated that different gait training modalities improved gross motor function, gait speed, and walking endurance, in addition to promoting benefits in balance, muscle strength, selective motor control, and spasticity. Robotic-assisted interventions and wearable exoskeletons showed superior outcomes in several functional measures, particularly when combined with individualized training protocols of appropriate intensity. Evidence of neuroplastic adaptations associated with increased functional brain connectivity following gait training was also observed. It is concluded that different gait training approaches are effective strategies for improving gross motor function and endurance in children with cerebral palsy, contributing to greater functional independence and quality of life. However, further long-term studies are needed to determine the persistence of these benefits.

The main objective was to understand how the theoretical ramifications of the postmodern agenda are expressed in BPE literature and, in light of the historical-dialectical materialist approach, to identify whether the relationship between language and objective reality, as presented by the theoretical currents of the postmodern agenda, acts as a catalyst for an idealist ontological understanding and a shift in the ontology of labor as foundational to social being. The method of historical-dialectical materialism was employed, structuring the investigation into bibliometric and theoretical dimensions. Data collection was conducted through the analysis of the 13 volumes of the 40th Anniversary Collection of the Brazilian College of Sport Sciences (CBCE) and searches across 18 national journals linked to the sociocultural and pedagogical fields of BPE. From these searches, the following categories emerged: Postmodern, Post-structural, Post-critical, and Post-human, leading us to name this phenomenon the "Subjectivist Movement" due to the theoretical similarities among the categories, with a predominance of the postmodern category in the area's literature, particularly in publications from the Southeast region. The history of ontological theories in Western philosophy was analyzed using György Lukács's ontological theory, as expounded in Towards the Ontology of Social Being, as the foundation for this analysis. Finally, reference was made to the work of Jean-François Lyotard, one of the main pillars of postmodern critique. It was concluded that the linguistic turn acts as a catalyst for a shift toward an idealist ontology which, by fragmenting the understanding of reality and promoting individualism, serves and legitimizes—even if inadvertently—the maintenance and reproduction needs of the neoliberal capitalist system, thereby confirming the initial hypothesis of an ontological turn within postmodern epistemology.

In this context, monitoring respiratory mechanics is crucial for optimizing mechanical ventilation and minimizing ventilator-associated lung injury in neonates admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Although effective, traditional technologies may have limitations regarding the early detection of pulmonary complications and the personalization of ventilatory support. Consequently, various emerging technologies have been developed to enhance this monitoring. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has emerged as a promising tool, offering real-time, non-invasive, and radiation-free imaging that enables the dynamic adjustment of ventilatory parameters. Despite technical and operational limitations, its use in neonatology is expanding due to its potential to improve the safety and efficacy of respiratory management. Therefore, this study aims to map and analyze scientific evidence regarding the applicability of EIT in neonates admitted to NICUs, identifying the most commonly used EIT functional parameters, the adverse effects and benefits of EIT use, and its contributions. Methods: This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, the PRISMA-ScR checklist, and the published protocol. Searches were performed in the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Clinical and observational studies evaluating the use of EIT in neonates in NICUs—published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, with no date restrictions—were eligible for inclusion. Two independent reviewers performed study screening, selection, and data extraction, with a third reviewer resolving any conflicts. Data were extracted, descriptively synthesized, and categorized according to the review questions. Although not a requirement for a scoping review, an assessment of the methodological quality of the included studies was conducted to support the interpretation of findings and contextualize the robustness of the evidence. Results: Nineteen studies—predominantly observational—were included, investigating the use of EIT in neonates admitted to ICUs requiring respiratory support. EIT was primarily used to assess regional ventilation distribution and monitor lung volume, track the impact of interventions on lung aeration, and optimize ventilator settings in critically ill neonates. Changes in impedance and expiratory lung volume were the main parameters evaluated by EIT in the neonatal population. Final considerations: Overall, the studies highlighted the potential of EIT as a tool for the dynamic, non-invasive, bedside assessment of lung function. Compared to traditional methods, EIT offers a real-time, regional assessment of pulmonary ventilation, overcoming the limitations of static approaches based on global measurements. However, transitioning EIT from research to routine clinical practice in neonatal ICUs depends on overcoming methodological and structural barriers, such as limited spatial resolution, high costs, and the need for specialized staff training. Added to this are the absence of standardized reference values for the neonatal population and the lack of consensus among centers regarding image acquisition and interpretation protocols, which hinders the comparison of results and large-scale validation.
