Functional outcome of spinal surgical intervention has never been published in patients with this rare disease. We present a cohort of patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis 1(Hurler syndrome) who underwent thoraco-lumbar spinal deformity correction and functional outcome assessed by pre-operative and post-operative gait analysis. This study represents the first attempt at presenting a functional assessment of surgical outcome in any Mucopolysaccharidosis subtype.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was carried out from 11 children diagnosed with this subtype of Mucopolysaccharidosis. All patients underwent thoracolumbar kyphosis correction between the years 2013 to 2016. Gait assessment was performed using GAITRite\u2122 electronic walkway pre-operatively and post-operatively within 9 to 24\u2009months from the index surgery. Walking distance, cadence and gait velocity were the three spatio-temporal parameters analysed. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyse the data and\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      -Value \u22640.05 was deemed significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There was a statistically significant improvement in walking distance in 9 out of 11 patient post-operatively with a mean increase of 232.06 cms (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.05).

Post-operative change in cadence was not statistically significant suggesting that physiological maturation of gait had minimal effect in the specified post-operative assessment timeframe. This study emphasizes that outcomes of spinal surgery in children with Mucopolysaccharidosis 1 should be determined by functional measures aiming to maintain or improve quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13023-020-01427-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,5]],"date-time":"2020-06-05T16:02:46Z","timestamp":1591372966000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Improvement in functional gait parameters following corrective thoracolumbar surgery in children affected by Mucopolysaccharidosis 1 (Hurler syndrome)"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0876-1387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajkumar","family":"Sundarapandian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Broomfield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pauline","family":"Hensman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Oxborrow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"1427_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2048","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.69.8.2048","volume":"69","author":"G Bach","year":"1972","unstructured":"Bach G, Friedman R, Weissmann B, Neufeld EF.
