Brief Summary

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that results in increasing weakening and breakdown of skeletal muscles over time. The disorders differ in which muscles are primarily affected, the degree of weakness, how fast they worsen, and when symptoms begin. Many people will eventually become unable to walk. Some types are also associated with problems in other organs. The muscular dystrophy group contains thirty different genetic disorders that are usually classified into nine main categories or types. The signs and symptoms consistent with muscular dystrophy are: progressive muscular wasting, poor balance, scoliosis (curvature of the spine and the back), progressive inability to walk, waddling gait, Calf deformation, Limited range of movement, respiratory difficulty, cardiomyopathy and muscle spasms This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Kinesiology Taping on head and trunk control in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Conditions

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• H-reflex latency and amplitude for trunk extensor

  H- reflex will be measured by an electromyogram device, four channels electrodiagnostic system with built in amplifier will be used in prone position for levator scapulae muscles and iliocostalis lumborum muscles

  through study completion, an average of 3 months

Study Arms (2)

kinesio tape

EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesio Tape will be applied on paraspinal trunk extensors muscles for 8 weeks, changed every 3 days.

Other: kinesio tape

Routine physical therapy program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

routine physical therapy exercise

Other: kinesio tape

Interventions

kinesio tape OTHER

Kinesio Tape will be applied on paraspinal trunk extensors muscles for 8 weeks, changed every 3 days.
