Brief Summary

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

Foot and body postures of patients with DMD will be evaluated. Foot structure characteristics such as foot length, metatarsal width, calcaneal valgus angle will be calculated for the foot posture. Also, the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) scale will be used. The body posture will be evaluated with the New York Posture Scale. Many gait characteristics such as step length, cadence, support surface of the patients will be determined with GaitRite instrumented walkway. Patients' balance assessment will be evaluated with Bertec Balance Advantage. The statistical analysis method will determine the relationship between foot and body posture and gait and balance.
