Characterization of Gait Kinematics and Muscle Function in Becker Muscular Dystrophy Pigs: a pilot study

2025-10-11

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate animal models of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) have been developed. Here, we characterized the gait kinematics and muscle function of a naturally occurring BMD pig model of dystrophin insufficiency. BMD pigs tended to have alterations in hip range of motion (ROM): hip (67%, 95% CI -0.64 to 14.12 degrees). While parameters were unaltered in extensor muscles, the dystrophin levels in flexor tibiotarsal...
