dc.description.abstractThere are a number of basic interventions using light, intensive activity to relieve the symptoms of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. These interventions relieve any pain caused, address malformations and maintain some basic functional skills such as: 1) Maintaining and / or improving muscle strength to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, 2) to reduce and / or mitigate the development of weakness and contractures in order to prolong the clinic process, 3) maintain cardio-respiratory efficiency and 4) maintain muscle strength and posture to prevent scoliosis. A number of authors have warned about the detrimental effect associated with forceful, repeated high intensity activities which can be extremely harmful, Emery (2000). Moreover, the lack of regular physical activity can promote rapid loss of functionin in the cardiac and respiratory systems. Physical activity programming based on thorough functional assessments for DMD patients is crucial to maintain the quality of life of these children, used in conjunction with other associated resources whenever possible, Guerrero (2007).eng
