Q

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC)

A

Definition: non-progressive neuromuscular disorder that occurs during first trimester. Fibrosis of muscles and structures within joints.
Etiology: Unknown, possibly due to poor movement during early development or genetics.
Signs/Symptoms: Cylinder-like extremities with little definition, contractures, dislocations, muscle atrophy.
Treatment: Positioning, stretching, strengthening, splinting, and use of adaptive equipment.

Q

Autism Spectrum Disorder

A

Definition: Difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.
Etiology: Multifactorial including genetic and environmental influences.
Signs/Symptoms: Initially become apparent around ages 2-3. Non-purposeful or absent speech, diminished facial expressions, unable to understand verbal cues, limited interest or awkwardness in social interactions, lack of empathy, defensiveness or indifference towards sensory stimulation, repetitive self-stimulating behaviors, perseverations, routines/rituals, decreased coordination.
Treatment: Sensory integration therapy. Improve social communication and decrease non-purposeful movements and vocalizations.

19
Q

Cerebral Palsy (CP)

A

Definition: Movement disorders due to brain damage that are non-progressive and acquired in utero, during birth, or infancy.
Etiology: Lack of oxygen, maternal infections, drug or alcohol abuse, placental abnormalities, toxemia, prolonged labor, prematurity, and Rh incompatibility. Acquired CP due to meningitis, CVA, seizures, and brain injury.
Signs/Symptoms: Abnormal muscle tone, impaired motor control, abnormal reflexes, poor postural control and balance, high risk for hip dislocations. Vision, hearing, and intellect usually altered.
Treatment: Normalization of tone, stretching, strengthening, motor learning, positioning, weight bearing, splinting, AD.

If ambulation will occur, it will occur by age 8.
Normal lifespan for mild to moderate CP. 50% die by age 10 in severe CP.

20
Q

Down Syndrome

A

Definition: Genetic abnormality consisting of extra 21st chromosome
Etiology: Incomplete cell division of 21st chromosome.
Signs/Symptoms: Intellectual disability, hypotonia, joint hypermobility, atlantoaxial instability, feeding impairments, flat feet, scoliosis, congenital heart disease, and visual/hearing loss.
Treatment: Exercise and fitness, stability, respiratory function.
Outcome: 80% reach 55 years of age.

21
Q

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

A

Definition: Progressive disorder caused by absence of gene required to produce muscle proteins dystrophin and nebulin. Fat and connective tissue replace muscle.
Etiology: X-linked recessive trait.
Signs/Symptoms: Characteristics manifest between ages 2 and 5. Waddling gait, progressive weakness, disinterest in running, falling, toe walking, excessive lordosis, pseudohypertrophy, Gower’s sign, slight learning disability in 1/3 of those diagnosed.
Treatment: Respiratory function, submaximal exercise, splinting, orthotics, adaptive equipment. Pharmacology includes immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids.
Outcome: Death usually occurs from cardiopulmonary complications, usually by the teenage years and sometimes into their 20s.

22
Q

Prader-Willi Syndrome

A

Definition: Genetic condition diagnosed by physical attributes and behavior rather than genetic testing.
Etiology: Partial deletion of chromosome 15.
Signs/Symptoms: Small hands, feet, and sex organs; hypotonia; almond-shaped eyes; obesity; constant desire for food. Coordination impairments and intellectual disability.
Treatment: Postural control, exercise and fitness, gross and fine motor skills training.

23
Q

Spina Bifida

A

Definition: Insufficient closure of neural tube by 28th day of gestation. Types include spina bifida occulta and spina bifida cystica (meningocele or myelomeningocele).
Etiology: Genetic predisposition, environmental influence, low levels of maternal folic acid, maternal hyperthermia, certain drugs.
Incidence: 5 per 10,000 live births in the US
Signs/Symptoms: Myelomeningocele include motor loss below level of defect, sensory deficits, hydrocephalus, Arnold Chiari Type II malformation, osteoporosis, clubfoot, scoliosis, tethered cord syndrome, latex allergy, bowel and bladder dysfunction, learning disabilities.
Treatment: Positioning, handling, ROM, therapeutic exercise. Skin care, strengthening, balance, splinting, orthotics, wheelchair and adaptive equipment prescription.
Outcome: Life expectancy typically normal

24
Q

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

A

Definition: Progressive degeneration of anterior horn cell. Types include:
1) Acute infantile SMA (Type 1-Werdnig-Hoffman disease) occurs between birth and two months. Motor degeneration occurs quickly and life expectancy is < 1 year.
2) Chronic Childhood SMA (Type 2-Chronic Werdnig-Hoffman disease) presents after 6 months to 1 year and has slower progression. Child can survive into adulthood.
3) Juvenile SMA (Type 3-Kugelberg-Welander SMA) Occurs from 4-17 years of age. Survive into adulthood.
Etiology: Autosomal recessive genetic inheritance.
Signs/Symptoms: Progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, diminished/absent DTR, normal intelligence, intact sensation, end-stage respiratory compromise.
Treatment: Positioning, vestibular and visual stimulation, use of adaptive equipment and AD.
