Few studies investigated the effect of a structured and specific training for upper limb motor skills allowing complex movements such as reaching and grasping.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of motor training on attention, reaching skills, and stereotypies in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT).
Twenty-eight participants with RTT underwent cognitive and motor assessment to evaluate attention, reaching skills and stereotypies with an ABABABA design: before training (pre-test phase), after a month of training (post-test phase 1), after a month of the second training phase (post-test phase 2) and at 1 month after the third training phase (post-test phase 3). In all three B phases, participants received 30 minutes of motor training for 5 days a week over a 1-month period.
Patients with RTT show long-term improvements in seconds of attention and reaching skills and decreases in the intensity of stereotypies.
This study suggests that motor abilities of participants with RTT can be improved with repeated, individual, well-structured training.
很少有研究调查针对上肢运动技能进行结构化和特定训练对诸如够物和抓握等复杂动作的影响。
本研究旨在检验运动训练对雷特综合征(RTT)患者的注意力、够物技能和刻板行为的影响。
28名RTT患者采用ABABABA设计进行认知和运动评估,以评估注意力、够物技能和刻板行为:训练前(预测试阶段)、训练一个月后(后测试阶段1)、第二个训练阶段一个月后(后测试阶段2)以及第三个训练阶段后1个月(后测试阶段3)。在所有三个B阶段,参与者在1个月的时间里每周接受5天、每次30分钟的运动训练。
RTT患者在注意力时长和够物技能方面有长期改善,刻板行为的强度降低。
本研究表明,通过重复、个体化、结构良好的训练可以提高RTT患者的运动能力。
