Brief Summary

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

Dushenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is characterized by the deficiency of dystrophin protein, prevents the muscle from maintaining its normal activity, causing progressive damage to the heart, respiratory muscles and skeletal muscles. When studies on patients with DMD are examined in the literature, very few studies are found investigating the effectiveness of pure respiratory muscle training, while no studies are found investigating the effectiveness of functional respiratory muscle training.
