TI  - Multidisciplinary physical rehabilitation program of individuals with spinal 
      muscular atrophy in an inclusive school setting.
LID - 10.3233/PRM-230008 [doi]
AB  - Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular ailment that leads to the 
      deprivation of motor neurons in the spinal cord, producing denervation and muscle 
      weakness. This case report explains how a patient with type 2 SMA used a 
      therapeutic exercise rehabilitation program in a school environment. Motor 
      functions were assessed by Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Manual 
      Muscle Testing (MMT), and Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale (HFMS), which is 
      validated and reliable. This study employed a repeated pre-test post-test 
      measures design. During a year of treatment sessions, the child underwent twice 
      weekly 45-minute physical therapy sessions for 48 weeks. The research was carried 
      out between March 2022 and February 2023. The purpose of the intervention, which 
      comprised a variety of therapeutic workouts, was to enhance physical function and 
      gross motor abilities in an age-appropriate manner. The intervention utilized in 
      this study led to improvements in GMFM-88, HFMS, and MMT total scores. The 
      results of this case study showed that a child with type 2 SMA aged nine had 
      successfully improved their gross motor skills and muscle strength.
