Abstract:
Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by myotonia and bone dysplasia. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and caused by mutations in the perlecan-encoding gene HSPG2. Its symptoms include muscular stiffness and hypertrophy. The aim of the study was to analyse the clinical presentation as well as the physical therapy and rehabilitation in a patient with SJS. A 20-year-old male patient with SJS was followed up by the authors for the past 3 years. The paper assesses the physical therapy and rehabilitation conducted at home and presents the possibilities of an extended programme that can be implemented at the multi-field Division of Physical Medicine. Patients with SJS represent an extremely difficult clinical and therapeutic problem.
