Therapy Taping Method: Therapeutic approach in two children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Iwabe-Marchese C, Morini NJr.
Br J Med Med Res. 2016. 15(3): 1-7.
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of elastic bandage through the Therapy Taping Method in two children with DMD. The Motor Function Measure-20 scale (MFM-20) was used as an outcome measure.
Results had shown that the elastic bandage using the Therapy Taping Method allowed increased execution capacity of the motor activities of these children with DMD, slowing the development of symptoms.
