Neuromuscul Disord. 2012. 22(8): 720-7.
The primary objective of the study was to describe and compare muscle oxygenation patterns during constant-load exercise in patients with Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) and healthy age-matched controls. A secondary objective was to identify potential links between local muscle oxygenation levels and motor function, assessed by MFM.
