Our vision is to increase awareness and improve outcomes for children with movement disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions impacting on motor function.

We also wanted to find out whether any particular behaviours were associated with any specific mutation types.

We compared parent/carer-reported physical activities with the number of steps counted by an accelerometer in girls and women with Rett syndrome.

We wanted to find out whether mothers with a child with Rett syndrome who were more physically and mentally healthy had particular characteristics.

This study evaluated sixty-one families' satisfaction following spinal fusion in girls with Rett syndrome.

Research

Intellectual and developmental disabilities are heterogeneous in aetiology and presentation, and one cannot make assumptions about the oral health barriers of those with Rett syndrome (RTT) based on findings from generic studies. This study investigated caregivers' perceptions regarding access to dental care for those with RTT, and associations of dental treatments received by those with RTT with their caregivers' perceived value of oral health and perception of their own as well as their daughter's dental anxiety.

High levels of sedentary time and low daily step counts in a Danish population of females with Rett syndrome

Research

For most individuals, there is initial developmental progress followed by regression at around 6–30 months. The classic signs of RTT then become apparent.
