Key Points

Motor function changes indicate potential improvements during viltolarsen treatment.
Significant assessments of motor function were conducted using both conventional and SMA-based methods.
The case series presents detailed observations over a specified treatment period involving viltolarsen.
Further validation in larger cohorts is needed to confirm these findings across various populations.
