Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This single-arm pilot study will assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an intensive motor skill intervention (HABIT-ILE) combined with functional strength training (FST) in children with SMA who are receiving disease-modifying therapies. Participants will attend one 6-hour HABIT-ILE + FST session each weekend (Saturday or Sunday) for 15 weeks, for a total of 90 hours of training. Feasibility will be evaluated through questionnaires, and effectiveness through standardized motor function assessments.
