Trunk Oriented Exercises Versus Whole-body Vibration for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

NCT05688072 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The abdominal muscles play an important role in stabilizing the trunk and providing postural stability. Children with Duchene muscular dystrophy have weak muscles, which may impair postural adjustments. These postural adjustments are required for gait and dynamic balance during the daily living activities.

Conditions

  • Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne Type

Interventions

OTHER

trunk oriented exercise

trunk oriented exercises include: stretching exercises, stabilization exercises (active or active-assisted), arm exercises in fixed trunk position, trunk-oriented exercises (active or active-assisted), trunk mobilization (sitting and lying position), and functional reaching exercises with different ranges of motion in shoulder elevation

OTHER

whole body vibration

WBV application technique. The children assume a full squatting position on a vibration platform. The apparatus will set at a frequency of 30 Hz, an amplitude of 2 mm, and a duration of 5 min. The children were instructed to remain in squatting position after the vibration started and to report any discomfort that arose. At the end of 5 min, the vibration turned off automatically. Thereafter, the children rested for 1 min. They were then asked to stand on the vibration platform while supported by the therapist for 5 min, with the same parameters as those used in the squatting position. The total time of application of WBV in each session was 10 min.
