Filter by:HRV is attained using a Polar RS800CX. Then, evaluated through linear, non-linear and chaotic global techniques (CGT). Forty-five male subjects were included in the DMD group and age-matched with forty-five in the healthy Typical Development (TD) control group. They were assessed for twenty minutes at rest sitting, and then five minutes whilst performing the maze task on a computer.
Relation between clinical and genetic features and acute digestive events in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients
Spinal cord injuries and people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Infant Spinal Muscular Atrophy (ISA) are prone to pain and pressure sores associated with prolonged sitting. For this reason, it is recommended that people with spinal cord injuries release pressure every 15 to 30 minutes and motorized wheelchair users use the electric positioning functions at least 1 minute every hour. The aim is to prevent and/or reduce pain and pressure sores. These devices could help to observe daily the variability of users' pressure maps, their impact on occupational performance, the link with pain and redness and could propose customized adjustments.
The purpose of this project is to devise instrumented insoles capable of accurately measuring gait at each footfall, over multiple hours in any environment. To achieve high accuracy, the investigators will develop a new learning-based calibration framework. Features will be tested in controlled lab settings 39 during a single visit in people with SMA (13), DMD (13) and healthy controls (13) and in 15 participants in real-life environments.
This is an 48-week open-label study to determine the efficacy and safety of AMONDYS 45, EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53 for the treatment of boys with duchenne muscular dystrophy who have a single exon duplication of either exon 45, 51 or 53, respectively. There will be weekly infusions and two muscle biopsies at baseline and at month 12.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common neuromuscular disease in childhood with an estimate incidence of 1 in 3500 to 5000 male births. The effect of aerobic training on muscle architectural properties and motor functions such as muscle activation is not clear in DMD. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic training on these parameters in children with DMD. Twenty children with DMD included in the study will be divided into two groups as home program and home program+aerobic training with block randomization method. Home program including stretching, respiratory, range of motion and mild resistance exercise with body weight will be asked to apply 3-5 days a week for 12 weeks, aerobic training will be performed 3 days a week for 12 weeks at 60% of their maximum hearth rate with 50 minutes total duration consisting of 10 min warm up and 10 min cool down period. Muscle architectural properties, muscle strength, muscle activation and motor function will be assessed with ultrasonographic, hand-held myometry, surface EMG and Motor Function Measure, consecutively. Assessments will be applied at pre-training and after 12 weeks of training.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NS-089/NCNP-02 in subjects diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and to determine the dosage for subsequent studies.
This is a multicenter prospective non-drug screening study. The working period is 12 months. There is no research product to be followed or used in the study. Demographic data, medical and family histories of the patients included in the study will be collected at the first admission. The following laboratory values of the patients will be collected: - Alanine Transaminase (ALT) - Aspartate Transaminase (AST) - Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) - Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) - In addition, physical examination information and Abdominal USG and Liver Biopsy Results, if any, will be collected. Following the above scans, enzyme analysis for late-onset Pompe disease in boys and girls and adolescents with high CPK levels and molecular genetic tests for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in boys and adolescents with high CPK levels will be performed.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Viltolarsen compared to placebo in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients amenable to exon 53 skipping.
This study is being conducted to determine if DMD patients / families and healthcare providers experience burdens related to access, and if so, to identify them, and to determine life impacts to the patient, if any, of these burdens. Data from healthcare providers will be collected by an online survey and from patients/families by one on one telephone interview.
