Overview

Introduction to functional tests and scales used by Neuromuscular center in the University Hospital in Motol. These examinations of motor skills for patients with spinal muscular atrophy were developed and are used to evaluate the state of complex motor functions to evaluate the natural course of spinal muscular atrophy. They are especially important for the treatment with Spinraza – determination of default state with the aim to observe the efficiency on motor functions. For now, motor scales mentioned in the text are only a marker of the available treatment, therefore extremely needed.
