Electrophysiological Changes in Pediatric Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Results From an Observational Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Previous studies of children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have focused on the ulnar and median nerves, while lower‐limb and proximal motor nerves remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to evaluate compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes in upper‐ and lower‐limb motor nerves in children with SMA
