Pelvic and lower back exercises for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a physiotherapy program focused on the lower back and pelvis for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who can still walk. It may help improve bladder control and overall function.

This study offers an online training program to help families learn how to manage bladder and bowel issues (called urotherapy) for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It aims to improve the child's comfort and quality of life by teaching practical techniques you can use at home.
This study tests whether a special program that combines thinking tasks (like counting or remembering) with physical activities can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy improve their thinking, movement, and ability to do everyday tasks independently.
This trial tests whether a fun, game-based physiotherapy program done at home can help boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a condition causing muscle weakness) improve their movement and strength. It may be an engaging way to support regular exercise and rehabilitation.
This study looks at what helps or makes it harder for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-weakening condition) to stay active. It involves parents answering questionnaires to share their child's daily activity and challenges, which may help guide future care and support.
This study looks at how scoliosis (curved spine) and back pain affect daily life in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will measure muscle strength and compensation patterns to understand these links.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
