In this episode, host Diana Castro, MD, is joined by Crystal Proud, MD, Director of Neuromuscular Medicine at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia. They discuss the importance of optimizing long-term motor function, particularly as individuals living with SMA transition from childhood to adulthood. Actions today impact outcomes tomorrow.
