PURPOSE:    To provide a comprehensive description of functioning and disability with regard to stages of disease progression in adults with @entity3918 type 1 ( @entity6045 ). Further to explore associations of measures of manual dexterity and of walking capacity with measures of activities of daily living (ADL) and participation in social and lifestyle activities. METHODS: Seventy @entity1 with @entity6045 underwent examinations, tests and answered questionnaires. Stages of disease progression were based on the @entity73 rating scale. RESULTS:    Overweight, @entity299 , respiratory restrictions, @entity1295 and/or low physical activity levels were found in approximately 40% of those with @entity6045 . Over 75% had @entity121 , and activity limitations in manual dexterity and walking. @entity734 in personal and instrumental ADL was found in 16% and 39%, respectively, and participation restrictions in social and lifestyle activities in 52%. The presence of concurrent @entity73 , activity limitations and participation restrictions was high. Significant differences were found in @entity121 , manual dexterity, mobility, ADL and social and lifestyle activities with regard to disease progression. Cut-off values in measures of manual dexterity and walking capacity associated to functioning are proposed. CONCLUSION:    This information can be used for developing clinical practise and for health promotion for @entity1 with @entity6045 .
