The only significant difference between mean baseline and 12-mo performance was an improvement in 6MWT in children 3-6 y old (P = .008). This age group also had the largest mean % improvement in performance in all other timed functional testing. In children >7 y, the slope of change on timed functional tests decreased or plateaued, with further reductions in performance in children ≥10 y. Participants with CTG repeat lengths <500 did not perform differently than those with repeat lengths >1000. Conclusions The 6MWT, 10 Meter Run, and 4 Stair Climb were the most feasible measures. Our findings are consistent with the clinical profile and prior cross-sectional data, helping to establish reasonable expectations of functional trajectories in this population as well as identifying points in which therapeutic interventions may be best studied. Further study of outcomes in children >10 y old and <3 y is warranted, but this new information will assist planning of clinical trials in the CDM population.]]> Tue 28 Mar 2023 10:11:21 AEDT ]]> Education, change & society https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9851 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:36 AEDT ]]>
