Summary

Dysfunction due to weakness in respiratory muscles is one of the biggest problem that causes mortality and morbidity in neuromuscular diseases.Since the NMD have a crucial life-threading natural progression, many clinicians and researchers are trying to working out to increase life span and/or quality of life with medical and rehabilitative approaches.The relationship between upper extremity functions and respiratory functions in pediatric neuromuscular patients is still not clear. The clinician working with children with neuromuscular disease should be aware of the effects of muscle weakness and cognitive dysfunction on the respiratory system. Symptoms can be insidious and cause progressive loss of function, respiratory failure, and even death
