• Disability

  AB - Data were collected prospectively for an impairment and disability profile for 86 hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, types I and II (HMSN) subjects over a 10-yr period. [ucdavis.pure.elsevier.com]

  Disease usually progresses slowly with little disability, although there is substantial disease variability even within the same family. [patient.info]

  In order to determine physical disability, we used a functional disability scale (FDS) ( Birouk et al., 1997 ). [nature.com]

  People whose symptoms appear as adults may not develop severe disability and can have a normal life expectancy (type 4 SMA). It is important to note that the course of the disease may be different for each child and adult. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

• Asymptomatic

  For predictive testing of asymptomatic individuals, it is important to first document the presence of a gene mutation in an affected family member. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

  Paresis in the distal lower limbs varied from asymptomatic to the complete paralysis of distal muscle groups. [nature.com]

  Truly asymptomatic children in an affected family are not typically tested. 3. REHABILITATION MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENTS Available or current treatment guidelines HMSN-specific comprehensive guidelines are not available. [now.aapmr.org]

  Other common symptoms and signs include hand tremors, muscle cramps and acrocyanosis. It may be possible to palpate enlarged and excessively firm nerves. [patient.info]

  Pain is rarely an initial symptom but most patients experience pain during the course of their disease. [ 6 ] Generalised tendon areflexia. There may be foot drop and foot deformity. [patient.info]

  Neurological examinations at age 49 revealed a pes cavus, generalized areflexia except for brisk knee jerks, bilateral flexor plantar responses, symmetrical weakness and atrophy of the muscles in distal extremities, and a steppage gait with mild spastic [journals.plos.org]

The supportive treatment is generally provided by a multidisciplinary team including neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists; with treatment choices limited to physical therapy, the use of orthotics, surgical treatment [bcbst.com]

Treatment for spinal muscular atrophy Unfortunately, there is currently no specific treatment for SMA. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

But treatments can help relieve symptoms, aid mobility, and increase independence and quality of life for people with the condition. [nhs.uk]

Management [ 5 ] Currently there are no effective treatments to reverse or slow the underlying disease process. Supportive treatment is offered based on rehabilitation and surgical corrections of skeletal deformities. [patient.info]

CMT in pregnancy increases the risk for complications during delivery and a higher risk of intervention. [ 11 ] Prognosis This is dependent on subtype; clinical impairment and disability correlate with axonal loss: Most patients with CMT1A have normal [patient.info]

Prognosis If patients with HSN I receive appropriate counselling and treatment, the prognosis is good. Early treatment of foot infections may avoid serious complications. Also the complications are manageable, allowing an acceptable quality of life. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

A specific genetic diagnosis can provide patients and their relatives with information about prognosis and recurrence risk and may be relevant to future gene-specific therapies ( 17, 22 ). [tidsskriftet.no]
