The Incidence and Evolution of Parkinsonian Rigidity in Rett Syndrome: A Pilot Study.

The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques - 1 Jul 2016

Humphreys Peter, Barrowman Nick

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Patients with Rett syndrome (RTT) may demonstrate parkinsonian features. Here, we report a preliminary cross-sectional and prospective evaluation of the evolution, regional distribution, and eventual incidence of rigid tone in a cohort of MECP2 mutation-positive patients. METHODS: In 51 participants, muscle tone rigidity in extremity regions and neck plus hypomimia were quantified using an RTT...
