Before treatment:
Simone Fausto was presented with motor disturbance of his limbs and trunk 49 years ago. He went to the local hospital and was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. He was able to move his body, write and go to the bathroom himself before he was 11 years old, but 10 years after that these abilities were gone. He was not able to hold up his trunk 12 years ago and he needed something to support him when he sat. It was difficult for him to chew or swallow, he breathed and coughed hard, when he yelled his voice was low and unclear. He was not able to move his limbs and trunk 6 years ago, he could hardly hear, he had difficulty to breathe, chew or swallow, sometimes he choked and he spoke unclearly. He comes to our center to have the stem cells treatment every year and after the treatments his breathing is better than before. The neck muscle was powerful, he was able to turn his head widely, especially to the right. He was able to open his elbow joints with someone’s help to 120 degrees. Both side fingers could move freely, the thumbs could move inside strongly and he was also able to do this against part resistance. His left thumb and palm could hold a pen together. He took drugs and did the rehabilitation exercise regularly. His neck was stronger and he didn’t need neck support anymore.
He is in good spirit, his diet, urination and defecation functions are normal. He has put on some weight in one year.

Diagnoses: Progressive spinal muscular atrophy (PSMA), HHCY -hyperhomocysteinemia
Admission Date: 2011-05-30
Days Admitted to the Hospital: 32

Simone had a movement disorder in the trunk and limbs and was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at the local hospital. He was able to move his limbs freely before he was 11 years old and could perform simple activities of daily life. There was a gradual decline in motor functioning in the last 10 years and Simone was eventually unable to support his body, beginning about 5 years ago, and he needed the assistance of a bracket to maintain a sitting position. Chewing and swallowing became difficult and breathing required more effort. His ability to cough was weak and his speech was slurred. The four limbs had no movements. Simone also had difficulty controlling the movements of his head. Because he hadn't received effective treatment in Argentina, so he looked therapy in all over the word and decided to Wu Stem Cells Medical Center for treatment.When Simone first arrived at our medical center, there was no breakage or hemorrhagic spots on the skin. The thorax was not symmetrical. He had difficulty breathing. The respiratory sounds in both lungs were clear. The cardiac rhythm was regular, with no obvious murmur. The abdomen was distended and soft, with no palpable masses. The elbows are flexed and cannot stretch. The spinal column curves to the right. The forearms could bend to a 90 degree angle with the upper arms when passively stretched.Throughout the examination of the nervous system, Simone was conscious and alert. His calculation abilities and orientation were normal. His speech was slurred. The examination of the vision and visual field was normal. The neck muscles were weak and he had poor control over the movements of his head and could not move the head flexibly. The muscle strength of both upper limbs' proximal-end was level 0. The fingers of both hands had slight movement but couldn't grasp any objects. The muscle strength of both lower limbs' proximal-end was also level 0, and only had slight activity. There was muscle atrophy in the upper limbs, lower limbs, shoulder girdle and torso. The muscle tone of all four limbs was reduced. The tendon reflexes of all four limbs were diminished.

Treatment:
The patient received treatment to improve the blood circulation in order to increase the blood supply to the damaged neurons and nourish them. At the same time, we brought the cardiac rate under control. He was also received treatment for neural activation and nerve regeneration. This was accompanied with daily physical rehabilitation training to promote the recovery of the motor functioning.

After treatment:
After the completion of the treatment, Simone's cardiac rate was slightly lower. Breathing no longer takes so much effort. The muscle strength of the neck has increased. The range of movement of the neck from side to side has improved; he can turn his head to the right side easier. Both elbow joints can bend the forearms to the upper arms, to a 110 degree angle. The range of motion of the fingers has increased. The adduction movement strength of the thumbs has increased, and both thumbs can push against partial resistance. The adduction movement strength of the left thumb has improved to the point where it can hold a pen against the palm.

Dear Doctors:
I have great joy that Faust is fine. His progress to respiratory level now let you use your new power chair that handles are the air from his lungs. We are happy for this. Fausto is doing therapy for your hands, legs, arms and neck every day in addition to working with his speech therapist. His last RIN yield 2.75. His heart is working very well and arina and blood tests are normal. We want to know whether we should make any changes to the medication you are taking or continue like this. In ten days we all analyzes again and will send them to you. Receive all our love and gratitude. We sent a video of Fausto using your new chair.
THANKS for everything!
