Braz J Phys Ther. 2014. 18(2):119-126.
Objectives were to identify and quantify postural deviations in children with DMD and to explore relationships between posture and function. Ten DMD children, including seven children presenting values of MDM D1 below 50%, participated in the study.
Results showed that the balance deficit in children with DMD was accompanied by an increased forward position of the center of mass and significant pelvic anteversion that constitutes a compensatory strategy to guarantee similar performance to the children not affected by the disease.
