We investigated the effects of environmental enrichment on gross motor skills and blood BDNF levels in girls with Rett syndrome.
We aimed to: (1) describe the patterns of sedentary time and daily steps and (2) identify the association of individual and environmental characteristitics.
This study aimed to determine measurement properties of a modified 2MWT and a modified Rett syndrome-specific FMS-RS in Rett syndrome.
For most individuals, there is initial developmental progress followed by regression at around 6–30 months. The classic signs of RTT then become apparent.
This chapter reviews the prevalence, characteristics, and clinical management of orthopedic problems in RTT.
Quantifying individual's with Rett syndrome with the ability to walk, walking based activities and sedentary time, analyzing a variety of influences.
Our aims were to characterize the abnormal breathing patterns and abdominal bloating, investigate the distribution of these by age and mutation type and examine their impact and management from a caregiver perspective.
Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are varied in their nature and presentation. Barriers to oral healthcare are reported in studies of general populations with IDD but these may not reflect the barriers experienced by individuals with rare disorders such as Rett syndrome.
No validated oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non-verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health-related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome.
About 2 per cent of children are estimated to have an intellectual disability. The cause of the condition is unknown in at least 50 per cent of cases.
