## Abstract Reliable outcome measures that reflect the underlying disease process and correlate with motor function in children with SMA are needed for clinical trials. Maximum ulnar compound muscle action potential (CMAP) data were collected at two visits over a 4–6‐week period in children with SM

## Abstract The hereditary neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with childhood onset is one of the most common genetic causes of infant mortality. The disease is characterized by selective loss of spinal cord motor neurons leading to muscle atrophy and is the result of mutations
We evaluated changes in the dynamic and isometric strength in the newly weakened quadriceps muscles and asymptomatic triceps muscles of 6 patients with postpolio muscular atrophy (PPMA) after 10 weeks of progressive resistance strength training. Alterations in muscle size were determined with magnet
