When Roman was 7 months old, his parents discovered that he was not able to maintain a sitting position, so they took him to the local hospital where he had a gene examination completed. The results showed there was no exon 7-8SMN on the homozygote sequence, so he was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy in March 2012. The doctor prescribed Salbutamoul for oral use for 2 years. At the same time, Roman had physical therapy including massage and swimming but was ineffective. At present, he has thoracic deformity, and is not able to move his upper limbs very well.

The respiratory sounds in both lungs were clear.  The abdominal movements were weak when he breathed. There were no obvious dry or moist rales. The cardiac rhythm was regular, with no obvious murmur.

The muscle tension of all four limbs was normal. The muscle power of both upper limbs was at level 3, the gripping strength was at level 3, the proximal muscle power of both lower limbs was at level 1+ and the distal muscle power of both lower limbs was at level 0. The left lower limb was at an angle of 170 degrees and the right lower limb was at an angle of 150 degrees. The left heel was contracted. The right foot was crossed. When Roman bent his hips and knees, he was able to adduct and abduct the lower limbs. When he extended his knees, he was able to move the lower limbs slightly on the bed, and when he bent his knees, he was able to move his lower limbs occasionally. There was no bilateral biceps reflex, radioperiosteal reflex or patella tendon reflex. The Achilles tendon reflex was normal. The bilateral pathological result was negative. Roman was able to do the finger-to-finger test, rapid rotation test and finger-to-nose test correctly but slowly. Roman couldn’t do the heel-knee-shin test. The sensory examination results were normal. There were no signs of meningeal irritation.     

Treatment:
After admission, Roman Petrukhin was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. He received 3 neural stem cell injections and 3 mesenchymal stem cell injections to increase the number of normal nerves, repair the damaged nerves and produce new nerves. The treatment provided enough nutrition for the nerves and improved the blood circulation and regulated the immune system. The treatment was accompanied with daily physical rehabilitation training.

Post-treatment:
