Outside of a gait laboratory, this investigation compared gait pattern differences between children who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and their typically developing counterparts to gain more ...

Both cycling and home-based exercise training helped maintain gait and balance parameters in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with cycling training also improving antero-posterior ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare neurological condition that causes severe muscle weakness and intellectual disability. DMD is an inherited (passed down) disorder. The condition is linked ...

More than 30 rare muscular dystrophy types cause progressive muscle weakness from inherited gene mutations. Combined, they affect about 1 in 5,000 to 8,000 people. Common subtypes vary by age of onset ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is a disease that affects certain muscles. Individuals with CMD may experience symptoms such as muscle weakness and joint problems. “Congenital” means present since ...

Gene therapy may have the potential to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but early results from clinical trials have not been as promising as researchers hoped. Research is ongoing. Duchenne muscular ...

The muscular dystrophies are commonly associated with cardiovascular complications, including cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias. These complications are caused by intrinsic defects in ...
