Raul’s mother insisted something was wrong, but the pediatrician assured her he was healthy and fine. After a few physical therapy sessions and testing, he was referred to a neurologist and diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Today we feature Raul, his mother, his neurologist, and an interprofessional panel to discuss SMA, its biomechanical and orthopedic complications, choosing between disease-modifying therapies, and how, when it comes to the interprofessional care of patients with SMA, it truly takes a village.
