Abstract Disuse osteoporosis in children is a progressive disease that can affect quality of life. High-frequency, low-magnitude vibration (HFLMV) acts as an anabolic signal for bone and muscle. We undertook prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy safety regional HFLMV disabled children. Sixty-five 6 9 year age were randomized into three groups: placebo, 60 Hz, 90 Hz. In two active groups, 0.3-g mechanical was delivered radii femurs 5...
This secondary analysis of a large (n = 241), randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy 2 doses abobotulinumtoxinA + standard care (SOC) versus placebo SOC in enabling children with dynamic equinus due to cerebral palsy achieve their functional goals using Goal Attainment Scaling. Most parents/caregivers selected targeting aspects gait improvement as most relevant. Mean (95% confidence interval) Scaling T scores at week 4 were higher for both groups (treatment difference vs...
Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a prevalent geriatric syndrome causing severe nutritional and respiratory complications. We aimed to describe the characteristics therapeutic needs of older patients with OD admitted general hospital. Prospective cohort study (≥70 years) consecutively was clinically assessed Volume-Viscosity Swallowing Test status Mini Nutritional Assessment-short form. Oral health (OH) periodontal diseases were evaluated by dentists. Functionality, frailty, sarcopenia,...
In this study we aimed to determine the maximal isometric muscle strength of a healthy, normal-weight, pediatric population between 6 and 15 years age using hand-held dynamometry establish reference values. The secondary objective was determining relationship anthropometric parameters.Four hundred normal-weight Chilean children, split into 10 groups, separated by 1-year intervals, were evaluated. Each group included 35 55 children.The values increased with increasing weight, correlation 0.83...
The myopathic form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase type II deficiency is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic myopathy usually starting in childhood. Most reports have been on European and Japanese populations, no Native South American patients reported to date. p.Ser113Leu mutation the most frequent population. Only lower-leg magnetic resonance imaging findings reported, with gluteus maximus involvement one case normal other patients.Two siblings, a boy girl, presented our...
Swallowing disorders are common in hospitalised patients and an added difficulty when it comes to discharging them from hospital. Suitable characterisation performed by means of assessments conducted a neurologist speech language therapist allows for more accurate therapeutic decision-making.To describe swallowing the therapy evaluation on admission until discharge paediatric their relation with intervention that was implemented.We retrospective analysis consisting examination medical...
Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Spinal atrophy (SMA) causes significant disability progressive functional impairment.Readily available instruments that assess functionality, especially in advanced stages of the disease, are required to monitor progress disease impact therapeutic interventions.Objective: To describe development a scale evaluate upper limb function (UL) patients with DMD SMA, its validation process, which includes self-training for evaluators.Patients...
Young children's linguistic and communicative abilities are foundational for their academic achievement overall well-being. We present the positive outcomes of a brief tablet-based intervention aimed at teaching toddlers preschoolers new word-object letter-sound associations. conducted two experiments, one involving ( ~ 24 months old, n = 101) other with 42 152). Using pre-post equivalent group design, we measured improvements in language communication skills resulting from intervention. Our...
Introduction: Early functional changes in women compromise elements such as muscle mass and strength, physical function, gait speed, leading to a physiological decline that may contribute frailty old age. Objectives: This study aimed relate strength performance premature aged 40 years older. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational was conducted, two groups of were contrasted (40 60 over), completing sample 31 women. Functional decline, lower limb power, prehensile performance,...
Epileptic status (ES) is a medical emergency with high rate of morbidity and mortality. AIM. To produce retrospective description the ES that are seen in paediatric population attended our centre.We surveyed records 41 patients who presented were controlled child neurology department between December 1999 June 2007. Depending on type seizures, cases classified as either convulsive (CES) or non-convulsive (NCES). They divided into categories according their causation using modified Hauser...
La neuropatía ciática es una entidad infrecuente y de difícil diagnóstico en Pediatría. Su evolución a largo plazo no ha sido claramente definida.Objetivo: Analizar la presentación clínica un grupo niños con ciática.Pacientes Método: Análisis retrospectivo las características clínicas pacientes pediátricos atendidos 2 hospitales Santiago, entre 2014-2018. Se evaluó examen motor, trofismo muscular, reflejos osteotendíneos, marcha, sensibilidad dolor. estudió neuroconducción nervio ciático,...
