Interventions

  • Combined Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) + functional strength training (FST) — OTHER
    Goal-directed, task-specific training for both the upper and lower extremity, and postural control with targeted strengthening exercises to enhance motor control and facilitate the achievement of functional goals

Study Details

This single-arm pilot study will assess the 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 a HABIT-ILE + FST summer camp for 6 hours per day over a 3-week period, totaling 90 hours of training.

Arms

  • Experimental: HABIT-ILE + FST
    Participants receive a combined intervention consisting of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) and Functional Strength Training (FST). Both components are delivered as an integrated, intensive motor learning-based program aimed at improving upper and lower limb function in children with SMA. Subject will participate in a HABIT-ILE + FST camp format for 6 hours/day over 3 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measure

Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale - Expanded (HFMSE) [ Time Frame: 3 assessments: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, 3 months follow-up ]
