Physical training in boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: the protocol of the No Use is Disuse study.
Jansen M, de Groot IJ, van Alfen N, Geurts AC.
BMC Pediatr 2010. 10: 55.
The protocol of the NUD (No Use is disuse) study aims to assess whether a low-intensity physical training in DMD patients is beneficial in terms of preserving muscle endurance and functional abilities. The MFM is used as a primary outcome of the study to assess the functional capacity of the DMD patients.
