Summary
This small pilot study tests whether a 15-week intensive therapy program can improve motor skills and strength in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Five children already on stable disease-modifying drugs will attend one 6-hour session each weekend, combining hand-arm and leg exercises with functional strength training. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and offers any extra benefit beyond standard treatments.
