While there is currently no cure for CMD, management focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life. Treatment strategies may include:
- Physical Therapy: Helps maintain muscle strength and flexibility. - Occupational Therapy: Assists with daily activities and enhances independence. - Respiratory Support: Includes ventilation assistance and respiratory therapy for those with breathing difficulties. - Nutritional Support: Ensures adequate nutrition, especially for infants with feeding difficulties. - Orthopedic Interventions: Includes braces, splints, and surgery to address joint contractures and scoliosis.
Multidisciplinary care involving neurologists, geneticists, physiotherapists, and other specialists is essential for comprehensive management.
