Methods: A bibliographic search was performed in PubMed and Scopus databases, while relevant information about state of the art from guidelines for intervention in neuromuscular diseases was selected.

Results: The main characteristics and consequences of the disease, the associated complications and the intervention’s techniques have been exposed. Splints, orthoses and footwear – orthopedic, are essential complements to offer a comprehensive treatment to the user, in order to achieve a greater degree of personal autonomy.

Conclusions: All the professionals of the interdisciplinary team must to know the characteristics of the disease and the limitations that these cause in the activities of daily living, in order to offer an attention that has a favorable impact on the quality of life.
