Upper limb function in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
OBJECTIVE To determine upper limb function and associated factors in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS A sample of 70 men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (age range 20-43 years). METHODS General motor function and, in particular, upper limb distal motor function, were assessed with the Motor Function Measure. Muscle strength and range of moti...
متن کاملReliability of the Performance of Upper Limb assessment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
The Performance of Upper Limb was specifically designed to assess upper limb function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The aim of this study was to assess (1) a cohort of typically developing children from the age of 3years onwards in order to identify the age when the activities assessed in the individual items are consistently achieved, and (2) a cohort of 322 Duchenne children and young adult...
متن کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...
متن کاملBrain function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the second most commonly occurring genetically inherited disease in humans. It is an X-linked condition that affects approximately one in 3300 live male births. It is caused by the absence or disruption of the protein dystrophin, which is found in a variety of tissues, most notably skeletal muscle and neurones in particular regions of the CNS. Clinically DMD...
متن کاملDuchenne muscular dystrophy An overview of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects approximately 1 in 3,500 live male births [1]. It is caused by a large variety of mutations in the dystrophin gene. Because of these mutations, the body can no longer make dystrophin which is a protein important for stabilisation of the muscle cell during a contraction. Without dystrophin, muscle cells are damaged and slowly replaced by fat and scar tis...
