NCT ID NCT00961103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 80 children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types II and III to see how using braces (orthoses) helped them sit, stand, and walk. Researchers recorded when and how often children achieved these milestones and what types of braces they used. The goal was to better understand the role of braces in motor development for these children.
