Compensatory Movements During Functional Activities In Ambulatory

Pdf Compensatory Movements During Functional Activities In Ambulatory 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. Objective: 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 × 4 assessments × 4 tasks) were recorded quarterly in the year.

The compensatory movement observed in boys with dmd during this task, known as gowers’ sign, is a typical way of dealing with the weakness of the antigravity muscles of the lower limbs. climbing up and down steps are complex activities that demand joint stability and correct timing and the selection of muscle synergies. 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. objective during the transitional phase (ambulatory to non ambulatory), synergies characterize the evolution of duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd). this study was performed to describe and.
