Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this population based study is to examine, quantify and describe physical activity level in Norwegian boys with DMD, and to compare the level of physical activity level between boys with DMD and age matched healthy boys. A co-project will validate ActiGraph accelerometry to measure physical activity in boys with DMD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

International guidelines recommend regular physical activity for boys with DMD, and participation in physical activity plays a key role in the management. Paradoxically, patients with severe neuromuscular disease like DMD, have considerable limitations to participate in such activities. Limitation may be muscle weakness, pain, fatigue, reduced mobility and overall function, and also limited knowledge of physical activity benefits among health care personnel. Limited participation leads to a sedentary lifestyle, and gradual under-use of still functioning muscles may cause secondary deterioration in DMD.

The current physical activity level amongst Norwegian DMD's are unknown, and physical activity registration and self-reported questionnaire will be examined in this study.
