How Medical Equipment Enhances Life for Individuals with SMA?

For individuals living with SMA, medical equipment and assistive technology are not signs of defeat — they are tools that can improve safety, independence, comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Individuals with SMA can benefit from assistive technology devices and services such as mobility aids, modified driving controls, and voice recognition programs. 

Medical equipment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy can include power wheelchairs, adaptive seating, standers, braces, lifts, hospital beds, cough assist machines, noninvasive ventilation, feeding support, communication tools, and other devices designed to meet individual needs. Equipment may help increase mobility, provide support and strength, or assist with activities of daily living that may be difficult because of limited strength and movement. Respiratory equipment can also be life-enhancing because breathing problems are a major concern for adults and children with SMA, especially during illness or when respiratory muscles weaken.
