New study reveals how kids with language delays learn vocabulary
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how the way words sound (phonotactic probability) and how they are spelled (orthography) affect vocabulary learning in 23 children with low oral language skills (DLD). All children took part in the same 12-week program, which used real words to improve vocabu…

Small study tests exercise safety in kids with MCADD
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis completed pilot study looked at how high-intensity exercise affects children with MCADD, a rare genetic condition that makes it hard to break down certain fats for energy. Eight participants (4 with MCADD and 4 healthy controls) aged 8-17 did cycling tests and high-intensity…

Can a breath test reveal how muscles make energy? tiny study explores new way to track treatment effects
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis small pilot study looked at whether simple breath and urine tests can measure how well muscles produce energy in children with metabolic myopathies (rare muscle disorders). Three participants completed a 12-week at-home physiotherapy program. The goal was to see if these non…
