Motor and cognitive response to intensive multidisciplinary therapy: the first reported case of congenital Zika virus syndrome.

Purpose: To provide a detailed description of the development of the first case of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) to be reported in the literature worldwide.

Case Description: This report describes the case of a child with CZS monitored from pregnancy until four years of age, with periodic evaluations of head circumference, weight, height, motor function according to the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), and the occurrence of comorbidities.

Outcomes: The child's birth weight and length were normal (z-score = 1.

The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Social Distancing on Motor Function and Growth of Children with Congenital Zika Syndrome: A Prospective Cohort Study.

This article describes the impact of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic on the motor function and growth of children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Children's motor function, weight, height and joint range of movement (ROM) were evaluated before the onset of the pandemic and soon after their return to face-to-face activities at a rehabilitation center. Fifty-two children (Mean 46.

Classification of Congenital Zika Syndrome: Muscle Tone, Motor Type, Body Segments Affected, and Gross Motor Function.

: To identify abnormalities in muscle tone and motor function associated with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).: A cross-sectional observational study involving 96 children (55 males) with CZS at a mean (SD) age 35.2 ± 2.

Effect of Intensive Physiotherapy Training for Children With Congenital Zika Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To investigate the effect of intensive physiotherapy training on the motor function of children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Setting: A support center for children with microcephaly.

Obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of congenital Zika syndrome.

Objective: To describe obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS).

Methods: A dual prospective and retrospective cohort study involving 102 pairs of mothers and fetuses/children with CZS whose infection was confirmed by testing for the Zika virus in amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, and fragments from the placenta of the newborn infant (confirmed CZS), or by intrauterine imaging tests (neurosonography), and/or postnatal computed tomography (presumed CZS).

Results: Suspicion of CZS was investigated by ultrasonography during pregnancy in 52.

Neurological outcomes of congenital Zika syndrome in toddlers and preschoolers: a case series.

Background: Congenital Zika syndrome causes a spectrum of neurological symptoms with varying effects on function that require different therapeutic strategies. To date, this spectrum of effects and its clinical implications have not been completely described. We describe the neurological examination findings in toddlers and preschoolers, including predominant symptom complexes and comorbidities.

[Association between maternal physical activity, gestational weight gain and birth weight in a cohort of 118 pregnant women in Campina Grande, Northeast of Brazil].

Objective: This survey evaluated the effects of physical activity on gestational weight gain and birth weight of pregnant women attended by the Family Health Program in Campina Grande, Northeast of Brazil.

Methods: A cohort study enrolling 118 pregnant women was conducted between 2005 and 2006. Evaluation of the initial nutritional status was performed following Atalah's criteria and gestational weight gain was evaluated according to the Institute of Medicine.
