Therapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises for a Child With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Case Report
Including PSSE as an adjunct to traditional interventions may be beneficial for children with SMA. Evidence supports incorporating PSSE to improve posture preoperatively in idiopathic scoliosis. Its use postoperatively and in children with SMA is not well studied. Controlled studies are needed to understand the impact of pre- and post-op PSSE in children with SMA.
