Recent advances in medical interventions have changed the prognosis for children with infantile-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-1); however, little has been published regarding rehabilitation management. A rapid scoping review was conducted in November 2020 using Medline and CINAHL databases. Evidence supporting use of assistive devices and equipment to enhance participation, mobility, function, and posture in lying, sitting, and standing positions was sought. From 239 articles, only five studies (describing use of augmentative communication, manual and power mobility, supported standing and orthotic devices) met inclusion criteria. Results are presented alongside a case report of a 5-year-old boy (treated with Nusinersen since 7 months-of-age) who uses a variety of devices to enhance his activity and participation in family life. While reclined and tilted sitting positions as well as power mobility were previously considered for children with SMA-1, this child has progressed to supported upright standing, self-propelling a lightweight manual wheelchair indoors, communicating using multiple methods and taking steps in a dynamic mobility device. Power mobility was introduced in a switch-adapted cart at 11 months and he was independently exploring indoors and outside in his power wheelchair before 20 months. Research evidence is limited, but alongside the case report highlights the importance of a comprehensive and proactive approach to enhancing function, fun and participation with family and friends through adaptive equipment for children with significant and life-limiting disabilities.

Enchondromas are benign tumours that may become symptomatic due to expansive pressure on the surrounding bone. In this case, a 27-year-old male developed a symptomatic enchondroma within the proximal phalanx of his left fourth toe. Resection and insertion of a bone graft were considered optimal management. Histopathology testing confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated enchondroma. The patient was monitored closely for 3 months postoperatively and reported full satisfaction at his 12-month review. Enchondroma resection and insertion of a tibial bone graft may provide an effective long-term solution for a symptomatic enchondroma of the toe.
