Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder. With the emergence of disease-modifying therapies, the prognosis of SMA has significantly improved, drawing increased attention to the importance of home rehabilitation and nursing management. Long-term, standardized home rehabilitation and nursing can delay the progression of SMA, enhance the psychological well-being, and improve the quality of life of both patients and caregivers. This article provides an overview of the goals of home rehabilitation, basic functional training methods, respiratory management, and nutritional management for SMA patients, as well as psychological health issues, emphasizing the significance of obtaining appropriate home rehabilitation and support during the care process.

Abstract
Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in Survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, leading to reduction in survival motor neuron protein (SMN), key for motor neuron survival and function in the brainstem and spinal cord. Risdiplam is an orally administered SMN2-splicing modifier which increases production of functional SMN protein. Risdiplam was offered in the UK under early access to medicines scheme (EAMS) to SMA type 1 and 2 patients aged 2 months and older, not suitable for authorised treatments from September 2020 to December 2021. Objective To describe the largest paediatric European real-world set of data on patients' characteristics and short-term safety for risdiplam in Great Britain through EAMS. Methods We collated data from SMA REACH UK a national clinical and research network for all patients enrolled onto EAMS and assessed all submitted adverse events. Results Of the 92 patients; 78% were Type 2 SMA, mean age 10.9 years, range 0-17 years. 56 were treatment naïve, 33 previously treated; of these 25 had received nusinersen, 3 previous treatment unknown. Sixty adverse events (AEs) were reported occurring in 34 patients. The commonest were respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal disturbance. Four life-threatening events were reported with 2 deaths and permanent cessation of risdiplam in 3 patients.Overall, 38/60 AEs were considered unrelated to risdiplam, 10/60 related to risdiplam and for 12/60 causality not specified. Conclusions This study found a safety profile similar to clinical trials with no new safety concerns identified. With the restricted eligibility of onasemnogene abeparvovec and complications of nusinersen administration, EAMS allowed access or continued treatment to naïve patients or patients no longer suitable for approved medications. Collection of longitudinal data for this complex population is needed, to provide greater insights into risdiplam's role in addressing patients' needs into the future.

Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe genetic disease associated with impaired SMN protein synthesis and degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord. Developing neurogenic kyphoscoliosis and deformity of the chest against the background of symmetrical muscular hypotension sharply limit the activity of patients, worsening the concomitant diseases.Purpose. The study aims at determining the comorbid background of children with type II–III spinal muscular atrophy who underwent inpatient treatment for acquired skeletal bone deformities.Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the data was carried out for the period from 2017 to 2021 based on the medical records of 31 children. The study group included 10 girls and 21 boys; 16 children were with type II and 15 — with type III spinal muscular atrophy. The following were assessed: comorbidity, neurological status, hemodynamic parameters, echocardiography, spirometry, laboratory research data.Results. In our study, comorbidity was associated with nutritional status (19% of patients overweight, 29% underweight), mental retardation (3%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (19%), diseases of the ENT organs (16%), eyes (19%), heart and lungs (93%). For health reasons, 61% of children required the use of non-invasive ventilation, and 71% of insufflator-aspirators. Limited motor abilities were registered based on the HFMSE and GMFCS scales, dysphagia based on the EDACS scale. A biochemical blood test revealed a low level of creatinine.Conclusion. Patients with spinal muscular atrophy require multidisciplinary care in diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. The use of objective rating scales, instrumental and laboratory methods of examination allow for a comprehensive analysis of the potential of children with spinal muscular atrophy, to select effective, family-oriented treatment regimens. Serum creatinine as a biomarker for the severity of muscle denervation makes it possible to monitor the progression of spinal muscular atrophy and predict response to treatment.
