Impact of Home-Based Respiratory Physiotherapy in Nusinersen-Treated Patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the effects of home-based respiratory physiotherapy in patients with spinal muscular atrophy receiving nusinersen.
Assessment of pulmonary function metrics
Evaluation of perceived health status
Quality of life measurement
Implementation of home-based physiotherapy
Patients exhibited stable pulmonary indices after therapy
Significant improvements in perceived health status were reported
Enhanced quality of life was noted among participants
Abstract
Home-based respiratory physiotherapy was associated with stable pulmonary indices as well as significant improvements in perceived health status and QOL in patients with SMA treated with nusinersen.
