Neuromuscular diseases represent a rare cause of dilated myocardiopathy, among them Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can assess cardiac involvement early. The case of a patient diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy ...
ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the interval of responsiveness to the scales Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo-BR), Performance of Upper Limbs (PUL), and Jebsen Taylor Test (JTT) in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Methods: We assessed patients with DMD aged 6 to 19 years old...

ABSTRACT Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disease characterized by progressive loss of muscle fiber, gradually from proximal to distal. Although a few studies have investigated hand grip strength in non-ambulatory DMD patients, a lack of literature was found determining its relationship with functi...
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive respiratory impairment, so early assessment of lung function is important to prevent complications, establish the advance of the disease and decide which therapeutic interventions should be made. In this review, the...
Abstract Background and objectives Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy affects skeletal muscles and leads to progressive muscle weakness and risk of atypical anesthetic reactions following exposure to succinylcholine or halogenated agents. The aim of this report is to describe the investigation and diagn...

Abstract Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-chromosome-linked genetic disorder (locus Xp21). Involvement of the cardiovascular system is characterized by fibrous degeneration/replacement of myocytes with consequent ventricular hypertrophy and arterial hypertension. Objective: To assess, by...

ABSTRACT Objective To determine how often sitting/rising from a chair should be assessed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients to avoid redundant/missing data. Methods Sitting/rising from a chair was evaluated in 26 DMD children (5-12 yrs), in three-month intervals, over twelve months, with t...
La distrofia muscular de Duchenne (DMD) y la Atrofia músculo espinal (AME) determinan discapacidad y compromiso funcional progresivo. Se requiere de instrumentos fácilmente disponibles, que evalúen la funcionalidad, especialmente en etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad, para monitorizar evolución e impa...
