Abstract Background Symptomatic spinal stenosis (SSS) is a well-known medical complication in achondroplasia. The reported prevalence of SSS 10 to 30%, an estimate based on small studies or selected populations. No population-based exist currently. Furthermore, the relationship between and physical functioning has not been investigated detail. aims this study were describe Norwegian adults with achondroplasia, explore impact functioning. Methods This was community-dwelling genetically...
PurposeAn increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in achondroplasia. This population-based, case–control study investigated risk factors and body composition Norwegian adults with achondroplasia.MethodsWe conducted anthropometric, clinical, laboratory assessments 49 participants achondroplasia, of whom 40 completed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for analysis. Controls consisted 98 UK Biobank participants, matched mass index (BMI), sex, age.ResultsParticipants were well BMI...
Abstract Background Symptomatic spinal stenosis is a prevalent complication in adults with achondroplasia. Increased muscle fat infiltration (MFI) and reduced thigh volumes have also been reported, but the pathophysiology poorly understood. We explored whether increased MFI were associated presence of symptomatic physical functioning. Methods assessed by MRI 40 achondroplasia, compared to 80 average-statured controls, matched for BMI, gender, age. In achondroplasia participants, six-minute...
Abstract Background Previous studies have found a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with achondroplasia, but clinical on this complication adults achondroplasia are lacking. Objectives This population-based, cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence, severity, and predictive factors OSA Norwegian achondroplasia. Methods We collected data 49 participants. Participants without preexisting diagnosis had an overnight registration. was defined as apnea–hypopnea...

E-health services can be delivered regardless of residence level functioning. The aim this pilot study was explore the potential benefits feasibility a mindfulness-based program adults via group video conferencing. Methods: Six received an 8 week mindfulness group-based A multiple single-case design applied, including quantitative qualitative elements....
Abstract Background Dynamic hand orthosis may help upper limb recovery by keeping the wrist and in an optimal position while executing a grasp. Our aim was to investigate feasibility of combining dynamic with task-oriented practice after stroke. Method Fifteen adult stroke survivors were recruited single-group, pre-post intervention study. They received 12 weeks training 3 supervised at community rehabilitation unit followed 9 unsupervised home. Feasibility determined recruitment (proportion...
Victims of terror are at major risk long-term posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and physical sequelae.Prior research after terrorist attacks has focused primarily on PTSD the need for mental health services, where being injured been seen as an indicator high exposure to traumatic event a predictor level psychological distress, rather than factor function healthcare needs.Similar survivors natural disasters, impairments vary in severity, might include spinal cord injuries, brain injury,...
