Overview
25 boys, ages ranging from 6 to 16 years, diagnosed with Duchene's muscular Dystrophy (DMD) will participated in the study. They will be selected from the Pediatric Rehabilitation Center of Deraya University's outpatient clinic in El-Minia district, Minia-Egypt. The outcome will be assessed motor performance will be assed by Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition (BOT™-2) : balance, running speed and agility, bilateral coordination and strength and by Blue Cherry; Geratherm Respiratory. It is used to measure vital capacity (VC), forced expired volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, FEV1/VC, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) to provide objective information for monitoring lung health.
Primary outcome measures
- motor performance [Time frame: measured for one time]
- respiratory function [Time frame: measured for only one time]
