Power mobility in children with motor impairments: adaptations in electric toy cars to improve handling in natural environments – a case series
Personalized adaptations and training in familiar environments enhance independent mobility and participation in children with SMA with two copies of SMN2. The findings suggest that neither initial motor skills nor the type of adaptation required limits progress. This study underscores the importance of early powered mobility interventions and highlights the need for further research to optimize training and adaptation strategies for young children with motor impairments.
