Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
26 children with DMD aged 5-16 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups (study and control). The study group exercised with the trunk-oriented exercise program and the conventional exercise program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, whereas the control group underwent the conventional exercise program under the supervision of their families at home for 8 weeks.
Trunk control, the upper extremity function and respiratory function test were assessed before and after the 8-week exercise program in this study.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
26 children with DMD aged 5-16 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups (study and control). The study group (N=13) exercised with the trunk-oriented exercise program and the conventional exercise program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, whereas the control group (N=13) underwent the conventional exercise program under the supervision of their families at home for 8 weeks. The conventional program exercises were taught to patients and their families in the study and control groups. These exercises were performed daily for 8 weeks, twice a day, on average 45 minutes, each exercise 5-10 repetitions. The conventional exercises program formed stretching exercises, and active or active-assisted strength exercises (upper extremity, lower extremity, abdominal muscles, back muscles), and the Trunk-oriented exercises were specially adapted to the patient based on the patient's functional status and active participation in the exercises. Trunk control was assessed using the Trunk Control Measurement Scale, the upper extremity function was assessed using Performance of Upper Limb and respiratory function using the pulmonary function test before and after the 8-week exercise program in this study.

Study Group
Patients who performed Trunk-oriented exercise program and conventional exercise program
Trunk-oriented exercise program
The trunk-oriented exercise program was performed by a physiotherapist two days of the week for 8 weeks.Trunk-oriented exercises were specially adapted to the patient based on the patient's functional status and active participation in the exercises.
Conventional exercise program
Conventional exercise program was performed daily for 8 weeks, twice a day, on average 45 minutes, each exercise 5-10 repetitions. The program formed stretching exercises, and active or active-assisted strength exercises (upper extremity, lower extremity, abdominal muscles, back muscles).
Control Group
Patients who performed a conventional exercise program
Conventional exercise program
Conventional exercise program was performed daily for 8 weeks, twice a day, on average 45 minutes, each exercise 5-10 repetitions. The program formed stretching exercises, and active or active-assisted strength exercises (upper extremity, lower extremity, abdominal muscles, back muscles).
