Autism spectrum disorder in children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1: Case series
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was identified in 37.5% of children with SMA (n = 13). While IQ did not differ significantly between groups, adaptive functioning was reduced in those with co‐occurring ASD. Results support routine early neurodevelopmental screening in children with spinal muscular atrophy.

THE EFFECT OF THE MYOMO ROBOTIC ORTHOSIS ON REACH PERFORMANCE AFTER STROKE [PDF]
Stroke affects 795,000 people yearly. Close to 85 percent of stroke survivors experience some degree of stroke-related upper extremity impairment due to spastic paresis (Nakayama, Jorgenson, Pedersen, Raaschou, & Olsen, 1994).
