“…Sensitisation of T Lymphocytes to protein in the myelin sheath Is necessary for disease induction [6]. Patchy Areas of demyelination occur along peripheral Nerves, nerve roots and myelin sheaths as a Result of lymphocytic infiltration, causing Impaired conduction of action potential Leading to slow conduction velocity and conduction blocks [7]. In axonal neuropathies, the conduction velocity is normal, but the number of functional motor units is decreased [4].…”

Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common X-linked neuromuscular disorder. When boys with DMD reach the second decade of life, they lose their ability to walk and become wheelchair dependent. Standing devices and orthoses are considered to be an essential component in the therapy management of DMD. Clinical opinion and research from other neurological conditions highlight the proposed benefits of standing device use, however, its effect within this population is currently unknown. A review of the evidence for the use of standing devices and orthoses is necessary to inform all stakeholders, including people with DMD, clinicians, decision makers and funders, and to guide future research. Objectives To assess the effects of standing devices and orthoses on musculoskeletal impairments (such as pain, contracture, scoliosis development and bone density) in boys and men with DMD, and secondarily to determine their effect on quality of life, participation in activities, and patient experience (satisfaction). We also considered any adverse events associated with their use.
