About

The aim of this randomized study is to develop a new motor assessment of space exploration in a 2D environment with upper limbs for children with spinal muscular atrophy 1 and 2 from 3 until 16 years old.

Full description

Thirty children are included in the prospective randomized study. They are evaluated with the new test, Space Exploration Test (TES), and with the Motor Function Measure (MFM), a gold standard scale. The objective is to compare the results and to demonstrate the complementarity of the two tools.

30 participants in 1 patient group

Evaluation

Experimental group

Description:

Included patients will be invited to participate in 1 session, to be evaluated with the Motor Function Measure and the new test of space exploration, during 2 hours maximum, to compare scores with these 2 tests. An occupational therapist will be required to install the patient in front of the table and to give the instructions.

Treatment:

Other: Motor assessment
