Is it possible for a newborn to be diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy?


Is it possible for a newborn to be diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy if there was never any family history of SMA? The parents do not even carry recessive genes of SMA.
I've researched SMA and I've read that it can only be inherited.
----------

Usually nobody in the family even knows that they carry the gene. The way the check is through a blood test and what they are checking for is if the child is missing the Survival Motor Neuron. My precious baby boy had Spinal Muscular Atrophy and I can tell you we had no family histroy of it either. If somebody you know has it or you think might have it I promise I'll keep them in our prayers. God Bless   (+ info)

How to best handle muscular atrophy of a geriatric AK amputee's stump when not wearing the artificial leg?


The combination of the prosthetic sock and the socket when wearing the artificial leg provides support to the stump. But, especially in a geriatric amputee who wears the artificial leg for short periods, what is the best way to keep the stump in good shape and not have the muscle fall off the bone over time?
----------

There are some shrinker sock products out there that help keep everything tight and together.

you may also look into a thick liner to help keep the shape. I wear the Ossur Iceross seal in liners and it keeps all the tissue pretty secure.

There are also lots of exercises that can help keep the tissue where it belongs.  (+ info)

How long does it take for abs to atrophy?


I have a six pack, so i am just wondering how long does it take for it to start going away?
----------

It depends on how much you're eating, what you eat, stress, and a variety of other factors.

If you don't eat the proper foods or not eat in general this will create a catabolic (muscle destroying) environment and will cause you to atrophy more quickly.

However, if your eating plenty of food high in protein the body breaks it down into amino acids for muscle maintenance.  (+ info)

How can I atrophy the muscles in my calves and ankles?


I think my ankles and calves are thick mostly due to muscle (a bit of fat). I would do anything to make them petite and small.

In class, we had to measure our ankles and calves, and mine were one inch bigger than this male football player in class! I think it was my calves; they were about 18 inches.
----------

i doubt you will be more muscular than a football player and it is actually alot of fat. do endurance exercises for your legs and feet, not strength ones. that will help you loose all your fat there and make them lean. Also if by chance you are hulk status muscular and have muscle ankles, to atrophy them just don't use them anymore, wheel yourself around in a wheelchair or some other form that takes the place of walking and using your foot and leg muscles. it normally takes a month to start atrophy or if you literally stop using your feet for everything and just let them dangle like useless extended flesh, then it will take near 2 weeks.  (+ info)

Can gluteal atrophy due to prolonged bedrest be reversed easily with exercise?


So I have been bedridden for a good portion of the year due to health issues, and I have noticed that my buttocks have shrunk and look much different than before. I did some research and found it was due to gluteal atrophy which can be reversed with exercise. But I was wondering if anyone was aware how long it would take to reverse such a process and what exercises would be best? also could it be irreversible if you were bedridden for too long?

Thank you :)
----------

It really depends based on the amount of time you were bedridden and how fast your body loses muscle. Maybe a few months?

Your legs are probably weak as well, so work on doing bodyweight squats and lunges, which work both the legs and glutes.

For many people, the Bridge is an exercise used to activate and re-awaken the glutes as well as strengthen them. See the link for a video.  (+ info)
