- Compensatory movements during functional activities in ambulatory children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy(2014) MARTINI, Joyce; VOOS, Mariana Callil; HUKUDA, Michele Emy; RESENDE, Maria Bernadete Dutra de; CAROMANO, Fatima AparecidaObjective: During the transitional phase (ambulatory to non-ambulatory), synergies characterize the evolution of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This study was performed to describe and quantify compensatory movements while sitting down on/rising from the floor and climbing up/down steps. Method: Eighty videos (5 children x 4 assessments x 4 tasks) were recorded quarterly in the year prior to gait loss. Compensatory movements from the videos were registered based on the Functional Evaluation Scale for DMD. Results: The most frequently observed compensatory movements were upper limb support on lower limbs/floor/handrail during all the tasks and lumbar hyperlordosis, trunk support on handrail, equinus foot, increased base of support, non-alternated descent, and pauses while climbing up/down steps. Conclusion: Climbing up/down steps showed a higher number of compensatory movements than sitting down on/rising from the floor, which seemed to be lost before climbing up/down steps in ambulatory children with DMD.
- Hand Function in Muscular Dystrophies: Relationship Between Performance of Upper Limb and Jebsen-Taylor Tests(2017) ARTILHEIRO, Mariana C.; SA, Cristina dos Santos Cardoso de; FAVERO, Francis M.; WUTZKI, Hanna C.; RESENDE, Maria Bernadete Dutra de; CAROMANO, Fatima A.; VOOS, Mariana C.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) and Jebsen-Taylor Test (JTT) to assess and monitor upper limb function progression in patients with muscular dystrophy. Thirty patients diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy Type 1, and fascioscapulohumeral dystrophy were submitted to the shoulder, elbow, and wrist domains of PUL, and to JTT subtests. Spearman tests investigated the relationships between PUL and JTT total scores and domains. Correlations were classified as strong (r >= 0.70), moderate (0.40 <= r < 0.70), or weak (r <= 0.40). There were strong correlations between the PUL and JTT total scores (r= -0.706). Although JTT measures time and PUL provides kinesiologic scores, these measures were related. Therefore, muscle synergies, which control the compensatory movements and motor functions involving mainly shoulder, elbow, wrist, and finger movements, are related to timed performance in patients with muscular dystrophies.
