Abstract

The mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by lysosomal storage disorders, leading to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in cells and tissues throughout the body, result in gin dysfunction. In this group of diseases for seven classifications for there cognized syndromes, MPS I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII. The most common is the tipoIII (San Filippo) followed by the type I (Hurlers, Hurler-Scheie) and type II (Hunter). The aim of this study was to review the available literature to give subsidy of physiotherapy in patients with MPS. We found a total of 123 articles, of which 101 were excluded because the theme did not support. For the development of only 22 articles were selected, which shows the poverty of the literature on the subject. This work demonstrates that the therapy is of great important cefor patients with MPS, but is being held without scientific support, since there is no specific physiotherapy techniques studies in this patient group. Therefore further studies are needed in this population, the high rate of mortality and morbidity and the many changes mentioned above, requiring the role of the physiotherapist.
