Flowchart of study design: identification of practice setting knowledge translation (KT) needs, implementation of training strategies, and baseline and 8-month outcome measurements. GMFM-66=66-item Gross Motor Function Measure, GMFM-88=88-item Gross Motor Function Measure, GMFCS=Gross Motor Function Classification System, PEDI=Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, TUG=Timed “Up & Go” Test, TUDS=Timed Up and Down Stairs Test.
