Common signs and management options for SMA
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neuromuscular condition causing muscle weakness and wasting. SMA patients experience the depletion of motor neurons within the spinal cord. These specific nerve cells are crucial in regulating muscle movement. Without these motor neurons, muscles don't receive nerve signals, making them weaker and smaller and curtailing movement. Approximately 10,000-25,0...
