Abstract
With the many recent advances in medicine and in home health care, patients with neuromuscular diseases can expect a longer life than was common 10 or 15 years ago. Increased understanding of the support these patients need has led to the development of protocols to maintain these individuals despite their significant disabilities. While nutritional management of these patients is difficult, it can usually be well-handled by non-invasive as well as invasive techniques.
