  A Systematic Review of Muscle Mass as a Biomarker for Health Status and Function in Children with Neuromuscular Disabilities
  Author(s): Andrew Maris*
  
  Children with neuromuscular disabilities face unique challenges related to muscle function, mobility, and overall health status. Neuromuscular disabilities encompass a spectrum of conditions affecting the nervous system's control over voluntary muscles, resulting in varying degrees of muscle weakness, spasticity and impaired motor function. Evaluating muscle mass as a biomarker for health status and function in these children is crucial for understanding disease progression, assessing treatment efficacy and optimizing care strategies. This systematic review explores existing literature on muscle mass measurement and its implications for health outcomes in children with neuromuscular disabilities. Neuromuscular disabilities encompass a diverse range of conditions, including but not limited to. A group of disorders affecting movement and posture due to non-progre.. Read More»
