Over 90% of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy develop a scoliosis when they become wheelchair bound. The scoliosis is progressive and is associated with deteriorating lung function. The purpose of this study was firstly to assess whether a standing regimen, in patients who had gone off their

## Abstract Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause an Xβlinked genetic disorder: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Stem cell therapy is an attractive method to treat DMD because a small number of cells are required to obtain a therapeutic effect. Here, we discussed about multiple types of myogenic
Motor neuron abnormalities have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Evidence concerning the effect of injury on motor neurons of human Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is lacking. We report a DMD patient having, in addition, an obstetric paresis on his left arm. EMG
Transcranial stimulation was performed in 4 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and 4 control subjects. The patients' central motor conduction time was normal. The threshold for evoking electromyographic responses using electrical anodal stimulation was the same in both groups, but the thresho
