This case report explains how a patient with type 2 SMA used a therapeutic exercise rehabilitation program in a school environment. Motor functions were assessed by Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88), Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale (HFMS), which is validated and reliable. This study employed a repeated pre-test post-test measures design. During a year of treatment sessions, the child underwent twice weekly 45-minute physical therapy sessions for 48 weeks. The research was carried out between March 2022 and February 2023. The purpose of the intervention, which comprised a variety of therapeutic workouts, was to enhance physical function and gross motor abilities in an age-appropriate manner. The intervention utilized in this study led to improvements in GMFM-88, HFMS, and MMT total scores. The results of this case study showed that a child with type 2 SMA aged nine had successfully improved their gross motor skills and muscle strength.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/prm-230008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,24]],"date-time":"2023-11-24T12:43:25Z","timestamp":1700829805000},"page":"247-252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Multidisciplinary
