Effects of yoga breathing exercises on pulmonary function in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: an exploratory analysis*, **
OBJECTIVE Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in children, and children with DMD die prematurely because of respiratory failure. We sought to determine the efficacy and safety of yoga breathing exercises, as well as the effects of those exercises on respiratory function, in such children. METHODS This was a prospective open-label study of patients w...
متن کاملSuxamethonium associated hypertonicity and cardiac arrest in unsuspected pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy.
In 1971 a patient with suxamethonium-induced cardiac arrest in an unsuspected case of pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy was described (Genever, 1971). Suxamethonium has been implicated in several cases of muscular rigidity, hyperkalaemia and cardiac arrest and in malignant hyperpyrexia, and there is evidence that these reactions occur often when there are pre-existing muscular disorders inc...
متن کاملVentilation and breathing pattern during sleep in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Ventilatory data, including timing and partitioning of ventilation, were obtained from six subjects with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy, aged 16 to 22 years, during polysomnography on two consecutive nights; the subjects were randomized to breathing air or oxygen. Five of the six patients developed oxygen desaturation exceeding 5 percent during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep while breathi...
متن کاملBreathing pattern, thoracoabdominal motion and muscular activity during three breathing exercises.
The objective of the present study was to evaluate breathing pattern, thoracoabdominal motion and muscular activity during three breathing exercises: diaphragmatic breathing (DB), flow-oriented (Triflo II) incentive spirometry and volume-oriented (Voldyne) incentive spirometry. Seventeen healthy subjects (12 females, 5 males) aged 23 +/- 5 years (mean +/- SD) were studied. Calibrated respirator...
متن کاملMuscle Activation during Gait in Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate changes in muscle activity during gait in children with Duchenne muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Dynamic surface electromyography recordings (EMGs) of 16 children with DMD and pathological gait were compared with those of 15 control children. The activity of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), medial hamstrings (HS), tibialis anterior (...
