Respiratory Devices
Many forms of respiratory care can be used in controlling spinal muscular atrophy. Most of them can be easily operated at home to provide minimal airway pressure or oxygen. Those who experience mild breathing issues would use breathing assistance during an infection or sleeping. If the condition progresses and becomes worse, it is important to use consistent and supportive respiratory care. Machines that can offer full breathing functions would help with expiration and inspiration due to extremely weak respiratory muscles. [7]
