Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Part 1: What We Know Now
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood muscular dystrophy. Much of what we have known about this disease has been based on years of clinical observation, muscle biopsy, and other limited testing. Longitudinal studies and clinical trials are shaping our "new understanding" of this disease. The courses related to DMD will span pathophysiology, research, the development of therapy recommendations, and quality of life issues. Therapy recommendations are based on predictive models of biomarkers and function, helping therapists and families plan for the future. Therapists play a critical role in caring for boys and young men with this disease.
