Animal models of neuromuscular diseases: pathophysiology and implications for rehabilitation.

Abstract excerpt

This article explains how animal models can be utilized to develop rehabilitation approaches to minimize the pathophysiology of neuromuscular diseases (NMD). Homologous animal models can be used to understand the pathogenesis of each NMD and the effect of physical interventions. Much of the current work using animals has been conducted to show how gene therapy could be used to ameliorate these diseases. Although...
