Investigation of the Effects of Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training Applied With Tele-Rehabilitation on Respiratory and Functional Parameters and Quality of Life in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Randomized Controlled Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Sept 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Dushenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is characterized by the deficiency of dystrophin protein, prevents the muscle from maintaining its normal activity, causing progressive damage to the heart, respiratory muscles and skeletal muscles. When studies on patients with DMD are examined in the literature, very few studies are found investigating the effectiveness of pure respiratory muscle training, while no studies are found investigating the effectiveness of functional respiratory muscle training.
