Mucopolissacaridose tipo VI (síndrome de Maroteaux-Lamy): avaliação da mobilidade articular e das forças de garra e de pinça

Abstract: Objective: To describe the profile of joint mobility and grip and pinch strength of MPS VI patients and to correlate this with urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), ARSB activity, and the distance covered in a 6-minute walking test (6MWT). Methods:This was an observational study of 28 patients with MPS VI, who had not undergone specific treatment.All patients were assessed for amplitude of joint mobility (shoulder, elbow, and knee), grip and pinch strength and urinary GAG excretion and also performed… Show more

“…Vision is often compromised by slowly increasing corneal clouding (Fig 2), but can also show rapid deterioration related to optic nerve damage from increased intracranial pressure or compression along the optic nerve [23]. Patients older than 10 years may progress to severe pulmonary obstruction and respiratory failure requiring tracheostomy [24], cardiac valve regurgitation or stenosis requiring valve replacement, severe joint disease [25] especially of the hips that may require replacement, claw-hand deformities (Fig 3) secondary to flexion contractures and carpal tunnel disease requiring median nerve release, severe spinal kyphosis, scoliosis (Fig 4), and cervical stenosis with spinal cord compression [26,21] requiring decompression and possible stabilization to prevent paralysis. These severe symptoms occurring together are typical of rapidly progressing disease and result in multiple hospital visits and surgical procedures accompanied by high-risk anesthesia [26].…”

“…However, when the animals had to counteract the force of gravity while hanging onto something, a strong and consistent impairment was found, which suggests that muscular endurance is affected in MPS VI rats. This impairment, in our opinion, is due to the impairment in the joints, ligaments and tendons all of which are affected in MPS VI subjects440.…”

“…Durante a avaliação, foi encontrada anteriorização e lateralização do CG nos participantes. Estes achados podem ser justificados visto que pacientes com MPS, desde os primeiros anos de vida apresentam comumente a restrição da amplitude de movimentação, principalmente dos joelhos, fazendo com que os pacientes assumam uma postura com joelhos flexionados, além disso, a hepatoesplenomegalia e o aumento dos órgãos internos, podem gerar abdômen protuso, contribuindo para a alteração do centro de gravidade, como a anteriorização (Cardoso- Santos et al 2008;Mizuno et al 2010;Valayannopoulos, Nicely & Harmatz, 2010).…”
