About this trial
With the advent of new treatments for ASI, new phenotypes are emerging. The investigators propose to describe these new phenotypes by prospectively following children with ASI of all types treated with TRS and aged under 16 for 2 years.
The investigators also propose to evaluate potential assessment tools to determine whether they are relevant for monitoring this population, either routinely or for future clinical trials. The investigators also aim to collect the total costs associated with ASI in order to propose a first prospective medico-economic study in France.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Markers of disease progression and description of different phenotypes, at : muscular and functional
A composite score indicating the overall motor development trajectory for patients from study inclusion to Month 24 (M24). Calculation: Assign numerical values or categories to represent the motor development stages, with higher scores indicating positive development and lower scores indicating decline.
Markers of disease progression and description of different phenotypes, at : muscular and functional
The trajectory of mean scores for motor function and muscle strength measured using CHOP-INTEND for patients aged 0-2 years. Scores are assessed every 6 months from inclusion (Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, Month 24). Scale: CHOP-INTEND scale (0-64) Minimum Value: 0 Maximum Value: 64 Interpretation: Higher scores indicate improved motor function and muscle strength.
Markers of disease progression and description of different phenotypes, at : muscular and functional
Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM-32), is a quantitative scale created to measure global motor functional abilities in a person with neuromuscular disease. It contains 32 items, each marked from 0 to 3. The total score and the sub-scores are expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score. Scale Range: 0 to 100 (Minimum to Maximum Values) Interpretation: Higher scores on the Motor Function Measure 32 (MFM-32) indicate improved motor function and muscle strength. The lower the total score, the more severe the impairment.
Markers of disease progression and description of different phenotypes, at : muscular and functional
Motor function and muscle strength: Trajectory of mean score between inclusion and M24: 6-minute walk test (≥ 6 years walking)
