About this trial

The treatment of patients diagnosed with DMD needs to be multidisciplinary, judicious, and always focused on the patient's well-being. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are very often standard care. Physiotherapy is regarded as crucial for the success of treatment, since it has achieved good results in the short term, such as maintaining the autonomy of these individuals . Physical activity is another method that has been used to treat DMD. Studies have used physical exercise in individuals with DMD in order to decrease muscle deterioration, muscle contractures, and bone fractures, and to increase the time of functional independence
