Progressive weakness can lead to loss of ambulation in some, especially in children with Type IIIA disease. Restrictive lung disease and scoliosis are not as prevalent in this group who remain mostly ambulant compared to patients with Type II disease. Creatine kinase levels are often elevated, usually no more than fivefold, and may lead to an erroneous evaluation for myopathy. 63,66,67 Type IV Spinal Muscular Atrophy SMA Type IV is reserved for individuals with symptom onset after 21 years of age, who also present with proximal limb girdle weakness.
