The Clear SMA Types And Treatments

Type 2

As you were expecting, men, there's also SMA type 2! This one gets infants as well. The difference between it and type 1? Well, symptoms in this type don't appear until after infants are 6 months old! They'll set in before an infant reaches their first birthday. Yes, babies with this one need help sitting. They'll need that help with standing and walking too! Without support, they can't do any of these things. Yes, men, it's because they've got weak leg muscles. They'll have more symptoms as they get older. Issues breathing and eating are common. Men, most kids with SMA type 1 can't do more than sit up on their own. And in their adolescence? They lose this ability! Men, expect to see scoliosis and finger tremors with this type of SMA. Hip dysplasia too!
