We compared parent/carer-reported physical activities with the number of steps counted by an accelerometer in girls and women with Rett syndrome.
We wanted to find out whether mothers with a child with Rett syndrome who were more physically and mentally healthy had particular characteristics.
This study evaluated sixty-one families' satisfaction following spinal fusion in girls with Rett syndrome.

Staying physically active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. ActiveRett is a dedicated resource for helping families support their child with Rett syndrome to keep active.

Each family needs to select the appropriate types and levels of activity that suit their own individual needs and circumstances.
Through InterRett we collect information on individuals with Rett syndrome on a global level. If you are a participant you can complete your questionnaire here.
