A robotic device aids neuromuscular recovery in children with spinal muscular atrophy
A lightweight robotic device aids neuromuscular recovery in children with spinal muscular atrophy, helping them to stand unaided, according to a study published in Nature. The research involved six participants aged between six and 10 and shows that the device achieved significant improvements in lower limb motor function after six weeks of assisted training. The study highlights that the improvement persists after training is discontinued and conventional physiotherapy routines are resumed, demonstrating the potential for lasting recovery.
