Upper limb function in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Bartels G, Pangalila RF, Bergen MP, Cobben NAM, Stam HJ, Roebroeck ME.
J Rehabil Med 2011. 43(9) : 770-5.
This study illustrates a large variability in upper limb function in adult patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and identifies muscle strength and range of motion as factors strongly associated with upper limb function. The results suggest that preserving muscle strength and range of motion in Duchenne patients might be relevant for a better outcome of distal motor function of the upper limb when adult.
