Exploring the Benefits of Dynamic Arm Supports to Enable Upper-Extremity Function in Men With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): A Randomized Clinical Trial
Abstract:Date Presented 03/27/20
This study is a longitudinal, randomized clinical trial exploring the benefits of two wheelchair-mounted dynamic arm supports (KINOVA O540 and JAECO WREX) in nonambulatory individuals with DMD experiencing upper-extremity weakness. Data collected will provide information about upper-extremity movement patterns and performance, as well as participant-reported outcomes regarding function, goal attainment, independence, quality of life, and user satisfaction.
