Fast Feet Forward: Early intervention protocol using bilateral movements to reduce stress and increase positive cognitions in adopted children with complex trauma presentation
Researchers examined a running-based intervention for adopted children with complex trauma. Recorded ratings showed reduced subjective distress and increased endorsement of positive cognitions after one session and after twelve sessions. The protocol used running as bilateral stimulation within a systemic formulation.
Limitations: The abstract does not report sample size, a control group or longer-term follow-up. Changes in session ratings do not establish lasting clinical benefit or causation. This adopted-child study is distinct from the earlier asylum-seeking-minor study cited by the authors.
