Rett syndrome is a rare but serious neurological disorder that affects about 1 in 9,000 girls. Even more rarely, boys may be affected.

We also wanted to find out whether any particular behaviours were associated with any specific mutation types.

We compared parent/carer-reported physical activities with the number of steps counted by an accelerometer in girls and women with Rett syndrome.

This study evaluated sixty-one families' satisfaction following spinal fusion in girls with Rett syndrome.
