Polyhydramnios: sole risk factor for non-traumatic fractures in two infants

Nadeau Genevieve , Olivier Patricia , Fiscaletti Melissa , Campeau Philippe , Alos Nathalie

Bone loading is a primary determinant of bone strength in later childhood and adulthood. Our understanding of how mechanical stimuli generated by foetal kicking and movements impact skeletal development is still limited. Many studies suggest that a sufficient and balanced supply of energy, proteins, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients is an essential prerequisite for normal bone development. However, only few studies highlight the contribution of the biomechanic...

Objective: Bone adapts to mechanical stimuli by increasing its mass and changing geometry; muscles are the stimulators for this change as they induce forces through contractions. Thus, bone strength is driven by muscle function. Research has shown that muscle mass and muscle function may not be proportional and hence analysing muscle function becomes of crucial importance. Here we propose to establish gender specific paediatric reference data for muscle function parameters ass...

Massey Jill , Phillips Kathryn , Lawrence Jack , Davies Angharad , Harris Laura , Cocca Alessandra , Spinelli Gabriella , Garaj Vanja , Irving Melita , Cheung Moira

Achondroplasia is the commonest form of dwarfism. Key features in infancy impacting positioning are rhizomelia, spinal deformities and large head size. Both standard high chairs and specialized adaptive seating are currently inadequate to meet the needs of these infants. This is due to their anatomical limitations and the guidance for supportive positioning in this group of children, which recommend that a flat, elongated spine is optimal, avoiding a C shape, as is...
