Management Of Dysphagia In Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Kuo-Chang Wei, Wen-Chin Weng, Tyng-Guey Wang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease. SMA phenotypes can be determined by the timing of disease onset and the highest level of motor development reachable by the patient. Generally speaking, proximal muscle involvement is more severe than in the distal extremities. In addition, cervical and the masticatory and pharyngeal muscles were likely affected by the disease, which can cause feeding problems and dysphagia. Clinically, dysphagia is more common among patients with type I and type II SMA. To thoroughly evaluate swallowing-related issues, both subjective information from patients and their caregivers and findings from objective tools including …
