What Is Rett Syndrome?
7. Stage 4
Stage 4 is also known as the late motor deterioration stage. It usually happens after the patient is 10 years old. During this stage, the patient’s seizures might start occurring less frequently, if they were having seizures at all. Their communication will also likely improve a little or at least remain steady.
However, the motor deterioration stage also means that the patient is likely to undergo significant loss in their motor skills. They can become weaker and less mobile as their condition develops. Despite this, they may still find that their hand movement skills will remain stable, or perhaps even get better.
