Summary

This study observed 80 children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types II and III to see how using braces (orthoses) affects their ability to sit, stand, and walk. Researchers looked back at medical records to describe the timing and type of braces used. The goal was to understand, not to test a new treatment.
