Abstract
Our results confirm an earlier decline in lung and respiratory muscle function in patients classified as SMA type 2 as compared with patients classified as type 3. This decline can be assessed by two simple non-invasive tests, FVC and SNIP, with the last maneuver being feasible and reliable in the youngest children, underlying its interest for the monitoring of children with SMA.
