Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) usually affects men. However, women are also affected in rare instances. Approximately 8% of female DMD carriers have muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. The early identification of functional and motor impairments can support clinical decision making. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the motor and functional impairments of 10 female patients with dystrophinopathy diagnosed with...
