Evidence of Rehabilitation Treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Key Points

• This paper aims to summarize the evidence for rehabilitation treatment in spinal muscular atrophy, especially in the context of new disease-modifying therapies.
• Analysis of rehabilitation practices in conjunction with drug therapies for spinal muscular atrophy.
• Emphasis on the importance of early intervention and its effects on motor function improvements.
• Discussion of the integration of advanced medical facilities and community healthcare collaborations.
• Early treatment results in significant gains in motor function.
• New complications, such as early progressive scoliosis after achieving sitting ability, have emerged.
• Effective rehabilitation should include synergistic effects of physical therapy and appropriate assistive devices.
