Strength training for children with duchenne muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of strength exercises affect muscles and chemical markers in children with duchenne muscular dystrophy. It may help guide physical therapy to improve muscle function.

Who can take part
- You have duchenne muscular dystrophy (a genetic condition causing muscle weakness).
- Your child is between 6 and 10 years old.
- Your child can understand and follow simple instructions.
