Herein, we describe the disease burden and age-related changes of congenital-onset myotonic dystrophy (CDM) in childhood.Children with CDM age-matched controls aged 0 to 13 years were enrolled. Participants divided into cohorts based on following age groups: 0-2, 3-6, 7-13 years. Each cohort received age-appropriate evaluations including functional testing, oral facial strength neuropsychological quality-of-life measurements, ECG. Independent-samples t test or Wilcoxon 2-sample was used...
Introduction Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) occurs when symptoms of present at birth. In this study we evaluated the relationship between physical function, muscle mass, and age to provide an assessment disease help prepare for therapeutic trials. Methods CDM participants performed timed functional tests (TFTs), first 2 minutes 6-minute walk (2/6MWTs), myometry tests, also dual-energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) scans. Healthy controls (HCs) TFTs, 6MWTs, myometry. Results Thirty-seven...
An understanding of student learning strategies is an important component supporting academic success and avoiding difficulty. Prior inquiry has demonstrated certain are more closely related to performance than others. The purpose this study was describe predictive relationships between the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), Learning Study Strategies (LASSI), grade point average (GPA) in occupational therapy (OT) physical (PT) programs. A multi-center convenience sample N=75(100%)...
As occupational therapy (OT) and physical (PT) programs expand across the United States to address a shortage in health workforce there is limited understanding of relationship between learning strategies academic success these professions. The purpose this study was explore Learning Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) relation hybrid-online clinical neuroscience course outcomes OT PT students. Thirty-four students (n=14 OT; n=20 PT) self-administered LASSI during spring 2019. scales...
ABSTRACT Introduction : The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the performance balance walking tests in relation self‐reported fall history adults with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Methods Twenty‐two (13 male) participants DM1 completed, a 6‐month questionnaire, modified Dynamic Gait Index (mDGI), limits stability (LoS) testing, 10‐m tests. Results Mean (SD) falls 6 months 3.7 (3.1), 19 (86%) reported at least fall. Significant differences mDGI scores ( P = 0.006) fast...
Purpose: An understanding of the learning strategies most accurately predictive success has become increasingly important as health professional education programs scale utilization online in wake COVID-19. The purpose this study was to examine relationship between Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) cumulative GPA (cpGPA) hybrid-online physical (PT) occupational therapist (OT) education. Methods: A convenience sample collected N=149 entry-level PT OT students from three campuses...
Purpose: Screening student applicants can be a valuable measure for hybrid-online Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs.Institutions embrace wide variety measurements that drive admissions decisions. However, uncertainties exist regarding the most accurate admission predictors academic outcomes, especially among DPT programs. The purpose this study was to examine predictive relationships between applicants’ variables and program grade point average National Examination (NPTE) performance...
Introduction. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare educational outcomes Doctor Physical Therapy (DPT) graduates before during the COVID-19 pandemic. Review Literature. Reports show increased stress, anxiety, burnout pandemic, which may have negatively affected academic performance. Historically, performance is predictive National Examination (NPTE) scores. Yet, there little evidence analyzing student Subjects. graduate records ( N = 1,897) were retrospectively collected from...
Team-based care has been shown to offer more comprehensive benefits patients when compared standard physician-based alone in clinics for chronic conditions. However, apart from grant-funded multidisciplinary clinics, there are no reports on the usage of same-day physical therapy (PT) consults within a daily outpatient neuromuscular disease (NMD) physician clinic.To determine impact PT at University Utah's Clinical Neurosciences Center.A qualitative assessment and survey patient...
OBJECTIVE: To describe a profile of congenital myotonic dystrophy throughout childhood and identify appropriate clinical endpoints for future therapeutic trials. BACKGROUND: Congenital (CDM) is severe, infantile-onset form (DM1). There have been few studies evaluating the natural history CDM during childhood. DESIGN/METHODS: Patients with between 0-13 years age were enrolled in this study. matched controls divided into age-based cohorts (0-2, 3-6, 7-13 years). Each cohort received 2-day...
Purpose: Prior study has demonstrated that certain learning strategies can be improved with training and instruction. As a result, downstream academic success may potentiated. However, it is unclear if instructional intervention influence outcomes among rehabilitation students. The purpose of this was to compare changes in grade point average (GPA) after exposure set standardized self-paced modules on the Learning Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) Physical therapy (PT) Occupational (OT)...
Purpose: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative in United States. A preponderance of evidence supports exercise and physical activity as an effective intervention to slow progression motor symptoms persons with PD. However, less study has been given influence non-motor PD, such apathy grit, on adherence therapeutic programs. The primary aim this was characterize levels grit individuals PD explore any relationship a community program. Due importance caregiver...
INTRODUCTION: Children with congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) have communication and motor delays. It's not well studied how delays affect performance on functional measures such as four-stair climb (4SC), rise from floor (RFF) 10-meter run (10MR). METHODS: 49 participants CDM were recruited in to three age-based cohorts. Motor was assessed the two oldest cohorts using 4SC, RFF 10MR. Each participant's Age Equivalent Receptive Communication calculated Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-II....
BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the DMPK gene. Congenital myotonic (CDM) most severe form of DM1, and patients with CDM are reported to have reduced health-related quality life (HRQoL). However, relationship between disease manifestations HRQoL has not been well-characterized. Most studies assessing focused on adult-onset showing excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, cognitive deficits, muscle...
