CI: confidence interval; CMAP: compound muscle action potential; FVC: forced vital capacity; HFMS: Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale; MFM: Motor Function Measure; MFM D1+D2: functional domains 1 and 2 of the Motor Function Measure; MUNE: motor unit number estimation; NA: not available; PedsQL: Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory; SD: standard deviation.
a Least squared mean of MFM, including MFM‐32 and MFM‐20 assessments. b Calculated with available data. c Participants with no change or improvement of scores were considered 'responders', participants with a decline in score were considered 'non‐responders'.
