Filter by:This study aims to examine the relationship between upper extremity muscle strength, balance and functional skills of children with DMD.
This Phase 2, multi-center, open-label extension trial will provide CAP-1002 to participants who were randomized to the Usual Care treatment group of the HOPE-Duchenne study (NCT02485938) and completed 12 months of follow-up. The trial will assess the safety and efficacy of two intravenous administrations of CAP-1002, each separated by three months.
The purpose of this study is ; to evaluate the effects of aquatic therapy applied in addition to conventional physical therapy on balance, functionality and quality of life in children with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.
This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of 6PBRT in individuals with DMD and its applicability on these patients.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive loss of motor function, respiratory failure, and cardiomyopathy required regular physiotherapy. With the outbreak of the pandemic rehabilitation centers that make up the weekly physiotherapy routine of children with disabilities have slowed down or even stopped their activities. So DMD who have additional diseases such as respiratory muscle weakness, spinal deformity, obesity, and cardiac dysfunction have also been negatively affected. The 'telerehabilitation' method, which is well planned and prepared for the abilities and needs of patients and caregivers, is seen as a good option at this point. Studies, reporting the feasibility and safety of telerehabilitation in joint replacement, multiple sclerosis, and post-operative conditions, report that the length of stay was reduced, there was access to the same level of service regardless of the distance, and there was no travel cost. Despite these advantages, the framework and applicability of telerehabilitation programs have been investigated limited and not focused on effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with DMD. According to the current knowledge, telerehabilitation in DMD is a subject that needs to be investigated in terms of its benefits. So, in this study, it was aimed to show the telerehabilitation's feasibility and its effects on performance level, endurance, fall frequency, pulmonary functions, and satisfaction level with the program in individuals with DMD.
To perform the reliability and validity study of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2) in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The abdominal muscles play an important role in stabilizing the trunk and providing postural stability. Children with Duchene muscular dystrophy have weak muscles, which may impair postural adjustments. These postural adjustments are required for gait and dynamic balance during the daily living activities.
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility, wearability and participant satisfaction of novel outcome assessment tools in DMD patients which are performed in the home environment.
This study was planned to determine the effects of the dual-task performance of children with DMD with motor dysfunction and varying degrees of cognitive impairment compared to their healthy peers, to compare the dual-task performance of children with different functional levels, and to determine the relationship between parameters that may affect dual-task performance.
The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid gait classification scale for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (QIGS-DMD). The items of the QIGS-DMD were designed based on the literature review considering existing functional classification scales, gait scales, and the opinions of the physiotherapists who were expertized in rehabilitation of patients with DMD. Content validity was determined based on the opinions of a total of ten expert physiotherapists. Videos were recorded during gait of 69 children with DMD and inter- and intra-rater reliability were examined. Criterion validity was determined according to the relationship between QIGS-DMD and Motor Function Measure (MFM) and Vignos Lower Extremity Rating Scale (VLERS).
