Anthropometric Measures Correspond with Functional Motor Outcomes in Females with Rett Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize growth and anthropometric measurements in females with Rett syndrome and compare these measurements with functional outcomes.

Study design

We obtained longitudinal growth and anthropometric measurements from 1154 females with classic and atypical Rett syndrome seen between 2006 and 2019 in the US Natural History Study. We calculated the Clinical Severity Score, Motor Behavior Assessment score, and arm and leg muscle areas and recorded the functional assessments of arm and hand use and ambulation. We compared growth and anthropometric variables from females with Rett syndrome in regard to normative data. We analyzed Clinical Severity Score, Motor Behavior Assessment, and anthropometric measurements in regard to functional assessments.
