“…The findings of this study show that plantar flexion contracture is progressing and that physical function is deteriorating [11,14]. Strong ankle foot orthotics, personalized to a convenient end range, and worn for 8 hours a day are common guidelines for retaining range of motion at this center (usually overnight),passive ankle stretching for 90 seconds once a day, plus lateral and self-stretching as required [8,15]. Few of the related studies were reviewed [16,17].…”

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) seems to be the most common X-linked muscular dystrophy condition in children marked by proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy and affected mostly in boys. In more than 20 muscular dystrophies the most prevalent form is Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Each 1/3500 male births, the presence of DMD worldwide, indicating that in the UK alone there are approximately 2400 people living with DMD. Assessing improvements in severity, range of motion and functional mobility, implementation of therapies and guidance on positioning are important key factors. Clinical Finding: Mostly in proximal muscles around the hips and shoulders, which are those around the trunk of the body, muscle weakness occurs mainly. In the lower extremities, weakness usually begins proximally, and then passes distally. Symptoms typically begin about the age of 1-3 years. To see the child run and get up off the floor while searching for signs of DMD is necessary. Diagnosis: A very common physical finding in boys with Duchenne's is Gower's Sign. In order to get up, it requires using their hands to 'climb' their legs. It is because of a weakness in the boy's hip muscles, which was seen in this patient in progressive in nature. The proper examination and evaluation the symptoms the child presented to the physiotherapy clinic played an important in reaching to the diagnosis of the condition. Conclusion: Prevent the child from developing contracture, correct posture of the child and maintain quality of life these are important criteria in for the child suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

“…These complications are a major source of morbidity and mortality in the DMD population. 30 Short, single treatments of MI-E in stable patients with DMD indicates no changes in unassisted PCF but does decrease respiratory rate and improved rapid shallow breathing. 31 The result suggests that MI-E usage may help to improve the subjective sensation of shortness of breath in patients with DMD.…”

Resumen La aparición de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un problema de salud pública mundial, provocando una elevada presión en los sistemas sanitarios. Las secuelas de esta enfermedad han puesto de manifiesto la importancia de la rehabilitación en pacientes COVID persistente, implicando en el proceso a diferentes profesionales. El tratamiento de las secuelas respiratorias en fase ambulatoria de esta reciente enfermedad es un campo especializado y parece oportuno ofrecer una serie de recomendaciones prácticas de rehabilitación cardio-respiratoria que ayuden a todos los profesionales implicados en la tarea de tratar este tipo de secuelas una vez superada la fase hospitalaria. Esta revisión de la literatura ofrece diez aspectos clave de fisioterapia respiratoria que incluyen la valoración, los parámetros que se deben monitorizar y los signos de alerta, así como las técnicas respiratorias específicas y otros ejercicios prácticos que se deben realizar en esta población.
