As of 2011, no disease modifying treatments are known. [8] Foot drop can be managed with ankle-foot orthoses or surgical tendon transfer, [8] in which the tibialis posterior muscle is repurposed to function as a tibialis anterior muscle. In select types of distal myopathy, evaluation of the heart may be indicated. [8]
Werdnig-Hoffmann disease should not be confused with Hoffmann syndrome, which is a type of adult-onset hypothyroid myopathy.)

[1] [2] In 1951 Welander was the first to describe the hereditary muscular disease Welander's distal myopathy, a type of distal muscular dystrophy. Welander is also known for her work with Eric Kugelberg on spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Statins induce myopathy by inhibiting protein synthesis within the muscle.

[1] Colchicine is commonly prescribed for gout treatment.
