ABSTRACT Background Physical performance capacity (PPC) of pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients is reportedly low to normal, and longitudinal follow‐up these patients recommended. However, no recommendation for a method available. In this study, the correlation between 6‐min walk test (6MWT), various clinical parameters, physical set was evaluated develop simple tool PPC. Methods Fifteen HT 392 historical controls were tested at median age 15.4 years. PPC with 6MWT consisting six...
Abstract Background History of chronic kidney disease and transplantation is known to influence physical performance capacity. The aim this study was compare the pediatric transplant recipients healthy controls find possible correlations between clinical parameters Methods Twenty-four (62.5% boys) were tested at a median age 10.8 years. Physical capacity with test set including six different components assessing muscle endurance, strength, speed, flexibility. control group consisted 273...
Purpose: To compare changes in motor development from 1 to 5 years of age among 18 children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and 12 univentricular 42 without defect. Methods: Motor was assessed the Alberta Infant Scale Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC). Results: or had significantly lower scores on test at ABC compared controls. clear abnormalities brain magnetic resonance imaging those normal images mild changes, their relative decreased during follow-up....
Low physical activity is a well-recognized problem in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients; however, little known about the differences between groups. Physical performance testing was performed cohort of kidney, liver, and heart recipients.Fifty-one patients (54.9% boys), including 17 20 2 combined liver-kidney, 12 recipients, were tested at median age 11.5 (7.5-14.9) years. The results compared with control group, which consisted 425 healthy schoolchildren. test included six...
