    Small touches to big walks-the impact of rehabilitation on Sjögren-Larsson syndrome: A case report
    (2022-07-16) YOLCU, GÜNAY; KENİŞ COŞKUN, ÖZGE; KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; YOLCU G., Huseynli L., KENİŞ COŞKUN Ö., Karadag-Saygi E.
    © 2022-IOS Press. All rights reserved.Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of congenital ichthyosis, spasticity, and mental retardation. As with other rare genetic diseases, treatment is mainly symptomatic. Due to the absence of definitive treatment, lifelong follow-up and support of patients are important to improve the quality of life. A 7-year-old female child who was diagnosed as having SLS was referred to the rehabilitation clinic. After 20 sessions of a rehabilitation program, she started walking independently with the additional contribution of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). The contribution of the short-term rehabilitation approach and especially the administration of AFOs to the independence level of the patient is emphasized herein.
