Management of Spinal Muscular Atrophy in the Adult Population

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders resulting from the loss of spinal motor neurons. 95% of patients share a pathogenic mechanism of loss of survival motor neuron (SMN) 1 protein expression due to homozygous deletions or other mutations of the SMN1 gene, with the different phenotypes influenced by variable copy numbers of the SMN2 gene. Advances in supportive care, disease modifying treatment and novel gene therapies have led to an increase in the prevalence of SMA, with a t… Show more

“…Greater awareness of such symptoms (e.g. through proactive questioning) is recommended to ensure optimum supportive treatment (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Similarly, with an overall prevalence of NIV of over 20%, we would also expect cough support to be used in all patients requiring NIV (at a minimum) (21).…”

Similarly, with an overall prevalence of NIV of over 20%, we would also expect cough support to be used in all patients requiring NIV (at a minimum) (21). Possible explanations for the identi ed gaps in rehabilitation care include lack of awareness of the need for rehabilitation treatment, limited availability of quali ed therapists locally, di culties in obtaining a prescription, or refusal by the patients themselves due to time constraints or low appreciation of the potential bene ts ( 13).…”

“…Dazu kommen die chronischen Effekte einer Skoliose, Hüftgelenksluxation und eingeschränkter Belastbarkeit, was wiederum chronische Schmerzen, Osteoporose und Frakturen nach sich zieht. Der generelle Krankheitseffekt einer chronischen Erkrankung geht über die rein körperlichen Einschränkungen hinaus und spielt auch eine wichtige Rolle bei der mentalen Verfassung erwachsener Patienten mit SMA 2 .…”
