Abstrakt:	This study examined the effect of two different aerobic training modalities in a boy with spinal muscular atrophy type II. Motor functions were measured with Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale (HFMS) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Spirometry was utilized for assessing pulmonary functions and PedsQL 3.0 Neuromuscular module was utilized for quality of life of child. Ergometer training was applied 3 times per week for the duration of 12 weeks. After 6 weeks of wash-out period, aquatherapy was applied for twice a week for the duration of 12 weeks. HFMS and GMFM scores, and pulmonary functions of the child and quality of life scores of his parents were improved during both modalities. These improvements were largely maintained during 1-year follow-up. This study showed that both modalities had similar effects on our case's pulmonary, motor functions and quality life of himself and parents. It will be a guide for researchers working in the area of children with neuromuscular disorders regarding plan and diversification of therapy program.
