- Abstract
The paper presents changes in the motor functions of a patient with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) IIIb as a result of physiotherapy supported by Nusinersen (Spinraza) therapy. The extent of the changes was monitored by analyzing the scores using the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE). When testing with the HFMSE scale, the subject was assessed on a three-point scale consisting of thirty-three activities aimed at functional classification of people with SMA III. In the initial study the HFMSE score was 24 out of 66 possible. The increase from 24 to 28 points was noted after six months of treatment and physiotherapy, the changes occurred in the tests of the function of changing the position from supine to prone and vice versa. The next increase from 28 to 31 points occurred after three months, the changes occurred in the tests of the body support function and the change of position from supine to sitting. The last increase from 31 to 34 points was observed after the next three months, the changes took place in the tests of the function of entering the quadruple position and moving in it. After analyzing the conclusions and comparing them with the results of clinical trials published in scientific articles, an increase in motor functions in the HFMSE scale was observed in a patient with SMA IIIb as a result of physiotherapy supported by Nusinersen therapy.
