“…Body composition assessment in these patients is proposed by Caromano et al 20 , since they state that there is a correlation between fat percentage and muscle strength in neuromuscular patients. There are few studies assessing neu-romuscular patients with more specific methods than bioelectrical impedance and anthropometric measurements.…”

Introduction: spinal muscular atrophy patients present muscle weakness, orthopedic problems, nutritional complications and respiratory impairment. Lean mass and fat mass modifications are also expected in this population. Objective: to verify the body composition and chest expansion of type II and III spinal muscular atrophy patients. Methods: fourteen individuals were evaluated: seven patients in Group I of 9 (7-12) years of age, weighing 29.7 (23.5-60.0) kg; and seven children without the disease in Group II of 9 (9-12) years, weighing 31.0 (27.8-54.1) kg. Patients' monofrequency bioelectrical impedance was used for analyze body composition. Chest, hip and abdominal girths were measured by a flexible steel tape. The SPSS program was used to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Results: patients presented higher impedance: 1416.9 (850.5-1559.1) vs 788.0 (683.6-853.8), P < 0.05; and fat percentage: 31.2 (23.9-46.6) vs 19.1 (14.9-27.0)%, P < 0.05. The difference between forced inspiration and forced expiration thorax girth was smaller for patients when comparing to Group II: 3.0 (0.8-4.4) vs. 5.0 (3.9-6.5) cm, P<0.05. Conclusions: patients with spinal muscular atrophy presented higher adiposity and lower chest expansion.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease in which there is a progressive and irreversible degeneration of muscle tissue, and rapidly evolving. Treatment aims to preserve the functional and motor status, delaying the degenerative process. Objective. Demonstrate the applicability of using Vignos scales, for the disease stage, Egen Klassifikation, which quantifies the degree of functional and respiratory limitations and Motor Function Measure, which evaluate the seriousness and disease progression. Method. It was conducted a literature review of scientific articles, books and dissertations published from 2000 to 2011, in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Using the Medline, Lilacs and Scielo databases, a total of 25 scientific papers, a dissertation and two books was selected. Conclusion. the applicability of the scales mentioned above have the ability to assist health professionals in time to plot and conduct the clinical track. With the continued application of the same it is possible to follow the way the disease progresses during the treatment period and shows an ability to change behavior as needed, and help in carrying out new research, with the aim of providing a higher quality of life.

Several authors reported that the absence of normal physical activity promotes a faster functional loss of several organs and systems, such as the cardiorespiratory system. It is known that scheduling physical activities and regular exercise for DMD patients, when performed based on a thorough functional evaluation, is fundamental for maintaining the quality of life of these children, as well as other associated resources that should be used, whenever possible. Exercise can help DMD patients to maintain and improve muscular strength for performing activities of daily living (ADL) such as stair climbing, slow the rate of increased weakness or contracture development that can prolong ambulation, maintain enough respiratory capacity and strengthened postural muscles, which can slow the onset of scoliosis. There is a need to pass throughout the message to professionals, staff and families who are in this context or who have children with developmental disabilities that exercise and physical activity are an essential factor for maintaining health and well-being throughout the lifespan. That's what we wish and hope with this chapter.
