Movement and hand training for children with SMA
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combined program of home-based activities and hand training can help children with spinal muscular atrophy improve their movement and daily function. It is for children who can sit or walk with support and have been on stable medication for at least 6 months.
