According to the website of the Hong Kong Muscular Building Association, the cause of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is usually genetic or genetic mutation. When the motor nerve function in the spinal cord is lost, or even necrosis, the patient will develop symptoms of muscle atrophy. The most serious type one occurs within six months after the baby is born. It requires a baby to lie in bed, breathe and become weak, and find the medication as soon as possible, which is expected to maintain or improve the development of motor function.
