Brief Summary
Patients with spinal muscular atrophy who are wheelchair users often experience lower back - and gluteal pain, reduced sleep quality, constipation and reduced quality of life - symptoms that regular exercise could potentially alleviate. However, only very little research has been done on exercise for patients who are wheelchair users. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of cycle exercise on patients with spinal muscular atrophy.
