Written by experts from the international NMD community, this volume describes the natural history of the most frequent NMDs, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy spinal muscular atrophy, hereditary neuropathies, congenital and metabolic neuropathies and myasthenic syndromes. Best practice management of key functions typically affected by NMDs, such as, cognition and mental health, respiratory function, gastrointestinal, nutritional and cardiology management is provided. Sexual issues and transition to adulthood are also discussed. The final part of the book provides a critical review of new evidenced-based management approaches to NMDs. The large number of healthcare professionals involved in managing children with NMDs will find this a useful one-stop reference resource.\u003c\/p\u003eBietet Praxisleitlinien für Diagnose und Management der häufigsten neuromuskulären Störungen.\u003cbr\u003e - Erläutert die Ansätze bei den wichtigsten Körperfunktionen, die von neuromuskulären Erkrankungen betroffen sind.\u003cbr\u003e - Vereint die Stellungnahmen und Leitlinien der Experten des Fachgebiets.\u003cbr\u003e - Präsentiert auch die jüngsten therapeutischen Fortschritte bei Duchenne-Muskeldystrophie und spinaler Muskeldystrophie. \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRudolf Korinthenberg\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNicolas Deconinck and Nathalie Goemans\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection A:  Introduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
