Summary
Brief summary
The DMD progression cause a significant activities limitations due to muscle weakness were boys become chair bound in their early teens. These limitations affect daily activities such locomotion. However, there are no data to show how functional limitations affect activities and quality of life (QOL) of these patients. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of functional status in quality of life of patients with DMD.
