Baseline Range of Motion, Strength, Motor Function, and Participation in Youth with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Limited information is available on impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions in youth with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare genetic premature aging disease. The purposes were to: (1) describe range of motion (ROM), grip, pinch and quadriceps strength, functional balance, walking endurance, and gross motor limitations and participation restrictions; (2) evaluate the association between ROM impairments and age; and (3) evaluate the association between the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM) scores and lower extremity (LE) ROM, quadriceps strength, and age. METHODS: Upper and LE ROM, grip, pinch and quadriceps strength, Timed Up and Go (TUG), Six Minute Walk Test, GMFM-88, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure data were recorded for 38 participants with HGPS. RESULTS: All youth exhibited ROM impairments and most displayed decreased grip and pinch strength, walking endurance, and gross motor skills when compared to same-aged peers. However, the majority had good functional balance with TUG scores in the normal range. Participation restrictions included difficulty keeping up with peers when walking and difficulty completing activities of daily living. Some ROM measurements were negatively associated with age indicating that older participants had more extensive ROM limitation than younger participants. CONCLUSIONS: Physical and occupational therapists can use this information when evaluating youth with HGPS, designing a plan of care, and providing treatment interventions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
