Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will incorporate patients/ caregivers' perspectives to investigate the performance in daily activities of individuals with SMA and how it relates to their motor function abilities.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and atrophy and eventually leads to loss of function. Despite recent advances in disease-modifying treatments, SMA can still significantly impact an individual's functioning in daily living and quality of life. This study will incorporate patients/ caregivers' perspectives to investigate the performance in daily activities of individuals with SMA and how it relates to their motor function abilities.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Revised Upper Limb Module [15-20 minutes]

      The physiotherapist will perform a serious of motor test to evaluate the patient's upper limb motor function. This test is to observe the manual ability on different tasks in sitting position, including drawing along the path, opening Ziploc container, or lifting weight. And the therapist will score for each item. The Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) are consist of 19 items. It takes about 15-20 minutes for testing.
