Trunk Oriented Exercises Versus Whole-body Vibration for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Trunk Oriented Exercises Versus Whole-body Vibration on Abdominal Thickness and Balance in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

NCT05688072•Cairo University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The abdominal muscles play an important role in stabilizing the trunk and providing postural stability. Children with Duchene muscular dystrophy have weak muscles, which may impair postural adjustments. These postural adjustments are required for gait and dynamic balance during the daily living activities.
