Neurorehabilitation and Functional Improvement in Joubert Syndrome
Background: Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare ciliopathy characterized by cerebellar and brainstem malformations and the molar tooth sign on magnetic resonance imaging. Motor impairment is primarily driven by axial hypotonia, impaired postural control, and disrupted respiratory-postural integration. Longitudinal reports describing structured neurorehabilitation with standardized functional outcomes remain limited. Case presentation: We report a fem…
Functional Motor Assessment and Rehabilitation in Joubert Syndrome
Background/Objectives: Joubert syndrome (JS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cerebellar and brainstem malformations, resulting in a complex and heterogeneous motor phenotype. Despite increasing clinical recognition, functional assessment and physiotherapy strategies in this population remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to synthesize current rehabilitation evidence and to propose a conceptual framework for…
Maternal Risk Factors Associated with Limb Reduction Defects
Data from the Polish Registry of Congenital Malformations (PRCM) suggest that the prevalence of limb reduction defects (LRDs) in some Polish regions is significantly higher in comparison to that reported in the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) registry, but specific risk factors are still unknown. The objectives of this study were two-fold: to detect risk factors linked to isolated LRDs among Polish natives and to search fo…
Morbidity, Clinical Course and Vaccination against Sars-CoV-2 Virus in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Background: Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may be at higher risk of a severe course of COVID-19. The aim of the study was to evaluate: (1) the incidence and course of COVID-19 infection in DMD patients; (2) the vaccination status of DMD patients; and (3) COVID-19 related anxiety among DMD families. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted during an online symposium for DMD patients and their families. All participants (DMD …
Phenylketonuria patients’ and their parents’ acceptance of the disease
Our data demonstrated that disease acceptance played an essential role in patients' social integration. The study also indicated the need to overcome communication barriers between patients and their healthy peers and for patients to find the courage to be open about the disease. The importance of support groups for PKU families and the significance of strict cooperation between patients and their families with PKU treatment teams were also revea…
