Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand how hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) affect bladder function and symptoms in patients.
- A retrospective review included 122 mostly male patients, revealing that bladder dysfunction typically starts later than motor issues and is linked to specific genetic mutations.
- The findings highlight that detrusor overactivity is common among these patients, indicating bladder issues often arise as mobility worsens.
Article Synopsis
- Neonatal brachial plexus palsy is a common condition that leads to varying degrees of joint limitations in affected patients, and this study aims to analyze the kinematic differences between these patients and healthy controls.
- The research involved 33 patients with different levels of brachial plexus palsy, with kinematic data collected through an electromagnetic device to assess arm movement and motion range.
- Significant differences in arm kinematics were found between the patient groups and healthy controls, indicating that the extent of the palsy affects scapular protraction, glenohumeral elevation, and elbow flexion during various tasks.

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic bone disorder, mainly caused by autosomal dominant mutations of the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes that encode the alpha chains of type 1 collagen. In severe forms and in nonambulatory patients, for whom physical exercise is difficult, exposing the bone to mechanical stimuli by promoting movement, especially with physiotherapy and mobility aids, is an essential part of clinical practice. However, the effects of mechanical stimulation at the cellular level remain unknown for this disease.

Management of the upper limb in children with cerebral palsy is often complex and must be carried out by a team experienced in this field. Several clinical parameters must be taken into consideration, such as higher functions, visual problems, overall upper limb function, motor control, sensitivity, presence of hemineglect or synkinesis, limb position at rest and during walking. And last but not least, a complete analysis of the upper limb is required.
