Objective: The aim of this study was to monitor children and adolescents with Spinal Muscular Atrophy(SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at a referral center, through assessments of respiratory and motor parameters. Methods: 3 evaluations were conducted over a period of 24 months, in patients up to 15 years old, with DMD and SMA. Respiratory assessments included: cardiorespiratory parameters, respiratory muscle strength, peak cough flow and spirometry. Motor function was analyzed using specific scales: 1) Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP INTEND) for children up to 2 years old; 2) Measurement of Motor Function (MFM-32) over 6 years; 3) reduced version (MFM-20) for 2 to 6 years. The statistical analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk test and ANOVA with Bonferroni or Friedman's Post Hoc was used, and the Spearman or Pearson coefficients were applied. Results: 16 patients with a median age of 6.5 years, 12 with SMA and 4 DMD participated. There was a difference between anthropometric data, the frequency of children who did not undergo physical therapy decreased (12.5%X6.3%) and there was an increase in adherence to the air stacking technique (37.5%X43.8%). Use of non-invasive ventilation remained the same, as did respiratory parameters and motor scales. There was a strong correlation between the predicted value of forced vital capacity and scores MFM-20 and MFM-32. Conclusion: Outpatient follow-up of children with SMA and DMD showed a relative maintenance of respiratory and motor function parameters, which can be attributed to the improvement in adherence to therapeutic routines and care in a reference center.
